Brief excerpts:
. . . the University of Texas has completed an investigation into the death of Tyler Cross.
The 18-year old freshman died November 17th, 2006 when he fell from his 5th story balcony . . . ..
. . . the U.T. Dean of Students told KVUE that the university has taken action against several members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, but . . . would not give specifics.
She did say the question now is what action if any the university will take against the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity itself.
This summer, an investigation by the Travis County Attorney's office discovered that fraternity members may have used a cattle prod on Tyler Cross before his death.
There's also a question of who provided alcohol for the teenager. His blood alcohol content was . . . more than twice the legal limit in Texas.
The Travis County Attorney says he's waiting on the U.T. Dean of Students to make a decision regarding Sigma Alpha Epsilon before his office takes any further action.
