Authorities investigating CSU sophomore's death
Coroner awaiting toxicology results
BY TREVOR HUGHES

The death of a Colorado State University student remains under investigation as authorities await toxicology test results.

Sophomore Matthew Martinez was found April 5 by his roommate at the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, 1339 W. Mulberry St., according to police.

No foul play was immediately apparent, and an autopsy was inconclusive, a Fort Collins police spokeswoman said.

Pi Kappa Alpha was stripped in 2005 of its recognition as a campus fraternity after a history of trouble dating back more than eight years.

The CSU student newspaper, citing unnamed police sources, said Martinez apparently died of a cocaine overdose April 3.

Police spokeswoman Rita Davis said investigators do not consider Martinez's death suspicious, and she declined to comment on the possibility of a drug overdose.

The Larimer County Coroner's Office is awaiting toxicology results, which might take up to six weeks.

Last year, there were 35 accidental drug overdoses in Larimer County, with three attributed to cocaine, according to the coroner's office.

What can I say?

We are a microcosim of life and what is and can happen within our GLOs.

I hope and am sure that this had noting to do with The Chapter, He was an idividual that had a problem before hand.

I am far from tolerent for these individuals!

Do I feel sorry for them yes. They may have made the decision and not their Brothers.
