Page Under Construction: Begun October 13, 2017.

This page’s additions will depend on media reports, and so this site is at best an approximation of how many collegiate deaths and close calls are rooted in alcohol as a primary cause. BAt any rate, hopefully this page will spark some awareness on the part of USA students.

Thank you for reading–Moderator Hank Nuwer.

Pullman Police Chief Jenkins drops the ball in Big-Little death.
