Here is the link to a tragedy at Lake Shasta and an excerpt
A University of Oregon student was found dead Saturday at a popular campground in Northern California, officials said.
Dylan Pietrs, 21, “died in an incident at Lake Shasta this weekend,” the school said in a statement. According to the college’s student newspaper, the Daily Emerald, a cause of death is not yet clear.
Pietrs reportedly was at the lake, roughly 300 miles south of Eugene where the school is located, with hundreds of other University of Oregon students for an annual event organized by fraternities that was scheduled to be held from Thursday to Sunday this year.
Pietrs was a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity and was studying business administration.

LSD death blamed on fellow SAE member
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A fraternity at UNC Charlotte has been suspended in relation to the death of a 20-year-old student earlier this week.
On Tuesday night, authorities said Polly Rogers fell out of an emergency window on a party bus in northeast Charlotte and was hit by two cars. Witnesses said Rogers may have been the one who accidentally pulled the handle while she dancing around.
In a statement, Mitchell Wilson, executive director of Kappa Sigma, said the fraternity is in the process of investigating the incident.
The Brothers of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Polly Rogers. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Rogers family and to her loved ones. The Kappa Sigma Fraternity has suspended the operations of our Kappa-Omega Chapter at the University of North Carolina Charlotte, and we are in the process of conducting an investigation of the event on Tuesday evening. The Kappa Sigma Fraternity will fully comply with all investigations of the University and local authorities.
NBC Charlotte has learned the fraternity at UNC Charlotte hosted the end-of-year party on the bus.
Victor Rabb, owner of Charlotte Party Charters, said his buses has never had anyone open the emergency windows before. Rabb also said the bus Rogers was on did not have safety issues.
Rogers was a member of the university’s chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. Classmates said she was an emerging leader and one of the friendliest people they knew. A vigil will be held in her honor Sunday at 5 p.m. at the quad.
