Mizzou frat pledge blinded, brain damaged, mute after party where his BAC was almost 0.5%

Dude apparently funneled a ton of beer and then drank a bottle of Vodka and nearly died after he essentially went into a coma and was resuscitated. He is now blind and brain damaged and can't walk or talk.
His blood alcohol level was beyond anything I've ever seen. (For a reminder, Dwayne Haskins' BAC was around .024 when he was killed.)

We've all been to college parties where a kid drinks so much he can barely move, but this is on another level.
It seems no one was responsible enough to even recognize the kid probably had alcohol poisoning when his damn face started turning blue and he was lifeless at the party. Damn, I knew that in high school.

A University of Missouri student who suffered a serious brain injury after being forced to drink a bottle of vodka during a pledge party is back home in Minnesota — but is blind and unable to walk or communicate.
“He has massive brain damage. He’s blind. He’s unable to walk or communicate,” family attorney David Bianchi said about 19-year-old Daniel Santulli, who is in his parents’ care, the Columbia Tribune reported.
Santulli, of Eden Prairie, was found inside a car Oct. 20 at University Hospital, where his blood-alcohol content was found to be 0.486 percent — more than six times the legal driving limit.
The student was resuscitated and placed on a ventilator after the hazing incident at the Phi Gamma Delta house, where he was a pledge, according to a February report in the Columbia Missourian.
Bianchi — who has settled a lawsuit against the fraternity, known as Fiji, and 22 other defendants — on Monday sought in a court motion to add fraternity brothers Samuel Gandhi and Alec Wetzler to the lawsuit.
Wetzler was allegedly an organizer of the event, according to the probable cause statement cited by the news outlet.
“We didn’t know about them when we filed the original lawsuit,” Bianchi said, according to the outlet.
The petition, which Judge Joshua Devine approved, alleges negligence against the two defendants.
Wetzler allegedly forced Santulli to drink excessive amounts of booze by putting a tube into his mouth and pouring beer down his throat, according to the lawyer’s complaint.
Gandhi, meanwhile, walked back into Santulli’s room and saw that he had not moved from where he had left him, the Columbia Tribune reported on the amended lawsuit.
“At 12:28 a.m., Danny slid partly off of the couch and ended up with his face on the floor but he had no voluntary control of his arms or legs and remained there until someone passing through the room saw him and put him back on the couch,” the petition states.
“His skin was pale and his lips were blue, yet no one called 911,” it adds, according to the outlet.
Wetzler has reportedly been charged with misdemeanor counts of supplying alcohol to a minor and possession of alcohol by a minor. He is due in court on July 5.
Fraternity member Ryan Delanty sent a text message to a friend at 10:57 p.m. Oct. 19 during the “pledge father reveal party” saying “my son is dead.”
The friend responded by asking what Delanty did to him.
“I left him,” Delanty, the so-called “pledge dad,” reportedly texted back.
Bianchi said the fraternity members should be charged under the state’s statute.
“Missouri’s got a good anti-hazing statute,” he said, according to the Columbia Tribune.
The judge also has approved the dismissal of several defendants sought by Bianchi because of the settlements, the outlet said.
The national fraternity and university have both suspended the Missouri chapter of Phi Gamma Delta.

Haskins was around .2 not .024…he got killed by a car anyway so not sure why that’s relevant.

I think this was like his 2nd time drinking. I don't think 21 drinking age really did anything, but make binge drinking worse for young adults.

Did shite like this never happen in the old days?
Or did the media just not pick up on it?

Sound like the typical college freshman frat kid we all knew who hax never had alcohol before and would do anything to put in a show for everybody and just get annihalatey hammered in an hour then passes out on the couch in the middle of the party.
Problem is, seems like he never threw up or had anyone smart enough to get him to a sink and make him throw up or get him to an ER to get his stomach pumped.

That's a good question. I remember someone saying that it was mostly beer at frats instead of liquor which is much easier to get drunk on. Regardless if someone ever had alcohol poisoning this would have been solved/never happened around me. Idc how drunk you are, you can tell when someone is turning blue. I'm still questioning how his bac was so high. I have drank a shite ton and never had alcohol poisoning, the gift of the Irish.

We lost 100k Americans last year due to alcohol related reasons and another 107k due to drug overdose. We have our heads in the sand as a nation when it comes to substances.

What sucks is the guys that had zero to do with this.
The fraternity is probably gonna get suspended or tossed off campus over this

Wasn't it this same frat that had a similar incident at LSU with Max Gruver?

I know they're young but in all honesty 18-19 years old is old enough to know you shouldn't try to drink yourself almost to death or force someone else to. A little common sense judgement would have went a long ways here

I had a .43 when I went to detox to stop drinking.

Lost 400k due to covid last year. I'm not super worried about that in a nation of 350 million. Not going to get worked up over 200k from people poisoning themselves to get high either.

Liquor and hazing should never go together. Make kids drink beer, make them do stupid, silly shite.
Don’t force them to drink liquor. Damn it

I wish this would result in fraternities being banned across the country. Sororities as well.
Much more harm than good comes from them.
