Full story
It is making local TV news tonight as well. They aren't giving much more information, but have said that whoever supplied the drugs and alcohol will face charges.
I was informed of the incident because I oversee the AGD chapter at Eastern (also my alma mater). His name has not been released by the police to the media, so I will not post it either, but if you have reason to need to know, please PM me.
This is the first time something like this has happened at Eastern, to my knowledge. There were a couple Lambda Chi Alphas who died in a car accident returning from Spring Break a few years ago, but alcohol was not a factor in that incident. We read these things all the time but it feels much worse when it hits so close to home.
