21 Bowling Green students broke school code in alleged hazing incident that led to sophomore's death: investigation

• Bowling Green State University said that 21 students broke student conduct code in the alleged hazing incident which led to a student's death.
• Stone Foltz died from alcohol poisoning after going to a fraternity party in March.
• Eight people are facing charges, including felony manslaughter, related to the incident.

Fraternity members at Bowling Green State University who allegedly arranged a hazing event that led to the alcohol poisoning and death of a 20-year-old pledge reportedly knew how dangerous the activity was, according to an investigation released on Friday.

The sophomore student, Stone Foltz, was found unconscious by his roommate after allegedly sustaining alcohol poisoning, and died three days later, according to the investigation.

Eight people are facing charges, including felony manslaughter, in Foltz's death.

In a statement released Friday, Bowling Green said that the 21 students who organized the event broke student conduct rules, and disregarded the health and safety of students present.

According to a school investigation, trash cans were set aside for vomiting, frat members told pledges to plan to not show up in class the next day, and also had other members watch the pledges once they got drunk.

"It demonstrates that active members were aware and cognizant of the danger posed by the event, and that new members would need to be monitored for safety reasons," according to the findings from a law firm hired by Bowling Green State University.
