SDSU Delta Sig Dead...

THIS IS NOT YET OFFICIALLY AN ALCOHOL RELATED DEATH ...

But since the initial report is that Doug DeWitt aspirated vomit, it is probably likely, so I am posting here.

"I regret to report that Delta Sigma Phi lost a brother last night.
Doug DeWitt, a 21-year--old junior who was majoring in Public Administration was found dead in his bed in his first-floor apartment in the Delta Sig complex in Fraternity Row. He pledged Delta Sigma Phi in fall 2002.

He was last seen around 2:00 a.m. Friday morning when he went into his bedroom, and his body was discovered by his roommates around 1:00 a.m. this morning (Saturday). He had apparently been dead for several hours. He appears to have died of asphyxiation from vomit, leading to speculation that his death may be related to alcohol poisoning. However, until the
Medical Examiner's Office receives the toxicology report and completes their investigation (which may be several days), the actual cause of death cannot be determined.

SDSU Counseling and Psychological Services staff were on the scene last night to assist the members and will be meeting again with the brothers again this afternoon to assist them with the grieving process.

I know that the fraternity would appreciate any show of support,
comfort and condolences the Greek community can offer during this time of tragedy. The fraternity tentatively plans to do some type of local memorial event, and once the details are determined I'll send out an announcement.

Doug Case"



I am going to find, and post below some comments on checking on friends from the thread on Samatha Spady who died recently at Colorado State University.

(At the moment, can't find the post -- I'll copy it when I do.)
