Hank – The article you linked is from the time of the death in September. This week there were seven arrests (including four felonies) connected to this death, and the chapter was officially closed. I think the facts show that it should be added to the list of hazing deaths. I have posted my thoughts on my blog – http://fraternalsquib.wordpress.com/2014/10/25/should-nebraskafarmhouse-death-be-considered-a-hazing-death/.

Hi Dean: I have been able to learn how to update the Hazing Deaths Page–thanks for the great suggestions always!
