An 18-year-old freshman at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo died of alcohol poisoning after a fraternity party. The teen had alcohol levels between 0.39% and 4.5% in his blood and other bodily fluids, roughly five times the legal limit for presumed intoxication in California.
Police said they believe the student’s death resulted from a hazing by members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, which he was pledging.
