Max,
Read the
link at the top of the post. It goes from the beginning of her drinking until her death.
It also chronicles the car accident, which was apparantely very minor.
She was probably drunk by the time she got to the house, but then drank more beer and shots of hard liquor there. Then, according to reports, she became unable to walk and was basically incoherent.
She was at the house at least twice that day/night. It's a little difficult to decypher whether she drank there the first time.
At the very least, the people at the Sigma Pi house significantly contributed to the problem.
Here's part of the article that the link takes you to:
"Two hours later, Spady would make her final stop at Sigma Pi, a house where she had concluded drinking nights before by passing out, the police said.
Change in demeanor
Twenty-five people had gathered in the brick fraternity house near campus, and Spady switched back to beer.
But as the crowd dwindled to about 10 at 3:30 a.m., Spady began what would be her final descent. Taking swigs from one or two bottles of McCormick's vodka, the former Nebraska high school honor student and homecoming queen's demeanor changed. She became visibly drunk and slurred her speech, Deputy Coroner Beers said.
About an hour before sunrise, Spady could no longer stand. She couldn't make sense when she spoke.
Two men who didn't live in the fraternity house put Spady's arms around their necks and carried her to an unused bedroom converted into a lounge.
Her girlfriend, who would tell police she drank close to what Spady did, checked on her and then went back to her dorm room.
The last time Spady was seen alive, she was lying on a couch on her stomach, using her hands to cushion her head, police said.
"We don't know if she was alive an hour or two beyond that point," Beers said.
In Spady's last moments, she slipped into unconsciousness, went into a coma and died. Beers said a blood-alcohol level of 0.4 is considered lethal."
