when is the last time a school ever took responsibility for a student that was found dead in a dorm?

This happens all the time. Just off the top of my head at schools I'm close to, MIT is currently being sued for the death of an undergraduate in her dorm room (a suicide). Harvard was raked across the coals in the national press for a murder-suicide that's still impacting its reputation ten years later. NYU is taking a terrific beating at the moment for a number of student deaths on campus, including one that resulted from drug use, and the lawsuits are beginning to roll in.
I can't, however, think of the last time I read about a student found dead of alcohol poisoning in a dorm.
