LSU fraternity death.

R.I.P Maxwell Gruver.




Ten people face arrest Tuesday (Oct. 11) after an 18-year-old student died following a night spent at an LSU fraternity. One of those 10 people faces charges of hazing and negligent homicide, and the remaining nine face charges of hazing, according to a press release from LSU.

It was not immediately clear whether all 10 of the people named as facing charges were LSU students.

LSU said arrest warrants have been issued for the following people:

Matthew Alexander Naquin, (charges of hazing and negligent homicide)
Zachary Castillo, (charge of hazing)
Elliott Eaton, (charge of hazing)
Patrick Forde, (charge of hazing)
Sean Paul Gott, (charge of hazing)
Zachary Hall, (charge of hazing)
Ryan Isto, (charge of hazing)
Hudson Kirkpatrick, (charge of hazing)
Sean Pennison, (charge of hazing)
Nicholas Taulli, (charge of hazing)
Maxwell Gruver, an 18-year-old LSU freshman from Roswell, Ga., was found unresponsive at the Phi Delta Theta fraternity and taken to Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge. He died later that day, on Sept. 13.

Autopsy findings released Tuesday by East Baton Rouge Coroner Dr. William "Beau" Clark indicated Gruver's manner of death was ruled an accident and caused by "acute alcohol intoxication with aspiration." Gruver had a blood alcohol level of .495, which is more than six times the legal limit to drive.

A chart by the University of Notre Dame's Student Well-Being Center, which details general effects at various blood alcohol content levels and tops out at .4, indicates that a blood alcohol content at that point or higher can put a person into a coma and cause "possible death due to respiratory arrest."
