1)Yeah and at 0.062 , he could still legally drive in Nevada. His last drink was around 9. He drowned around 2 am. Absolutely he did not have a drink from the time he showed up around 10, until he died. The coroner's report is the one that said it didn't appear that alcohol was a significant factor in his death. He didn't fail to swim because he was too drunk, but rather because he didn't know how.
2)He only told his pledge brothers. Had he told an active they would have watched him like a hawk. Like I said there were about 6 guys, pledges and actives, who just happened to also be certified life guards.
3)I know it's not ritual nor was it any kind of initiation, I've never swam in that pond. I don't think it was even a tradition, and if it was it's in the sense that students swim in that lake. Greek, Independent, and Athletes. It's a lark.
I hate this country's victimization mania. AJ died because he made a decision to try to swim and failed to recognize his limitations. He made a mistake, he paid for it with his life.
No Pike ever made him get in, they didn't push him or throw him, they didn't threaten him, nor intimidate him. He wasn't a victim of peer pressure or hazing. The only thing he was a victim of was thinking he could swim.
What ever happened to personal responsibility? What ever happened to accidents? If something happens it's automatically someone else's fault.
