It's curious that no one called 911. Why would you put an unresponsive guy in the car and drive him to the hospital?


This. I have been in this situation, and at no point thought about dragging the body into the car and driving to the hospital. It is instinct to call 911 for a normal person.

To be fair, that's also assuming a unit is available at that station and you're also omitting response time.



I didn't omit response time. It's offset by Rando honking and trying to get people to get out of his way with a dead body in his YUGO versus full code sirens on a EMT vehicle.

FWIW
I Was an EMT-Basic in a plant for 4 years. I got lucky enough to drive the amberlamps twice from the plant to the OLOL ER for medical emergencies(both turned out just fine).
I almost rolled that fricker over exiting Essen the first time.
I know stuff.

Exactly. A lot of close friends of mine were at the drunken party a few years ago(it was posted here and made news) where a teammate hit his head on the sidewalk and didn't wake up in the morning.
Not a single one of them thought "let's drive our unresponsive teammate to the ER."
And they were half the distance to OLOL as these kids.

Plus, the Paramedics have the tools that can often get them breathing again on site, well before arriving at the hospital.

Because if 911 is called, the cops are all over Phi Delts arse immediately. By driving him themselves, they can just dump him at the hospital and buy themselves a few hours to try and get a story straight and lawyer up.


Yep. LSUPD would've been so far up their arse in minutes.


If Gruver is taken to the hospital by private car and comes out this okay the entire thing goes away and nothing more happens.

If an ambulance shows up to the house, they also would have gotten a call from the Office of Greek Affairs. Once they reported it up the chain that it was alcohol related a dean would have come over for a visit.

Situations like this are made worse not less common by the clamp down-on, on-campus drinking.

LSU has a huge blame in this.

You know who has repeatedly failed to implement a medical amnesty policy? LSU.

You know who was thinking about it before Max died, but never quite got around to it? LSU

Phi Delt is definitely at fault here, but LSU's ridiculous policies don't help anything.

That's very important and good point.

It's a big problem with heroin addicts and the counter-productive law to prosecute the buddy/person who administered the dose.

No doubt. Had less serious alcohol poisoning incidents in the late 80s-early 90s before the drinking law change and subsequent policy changes.

How dare you not be just completely outraged at the entire Greek system for not policing a couple of Phi delt members who were in their house hazing kids in the middle of the night on a weekday! Now all of you can sit out and think about what you've done!

Or in rememberance of the kid who died, the frat bros could take a week off from blowing their buddies Chad and Derek and not make such a big deal of this

Because you are hiding where this happened. Dont want the ambulance coming to the frat hpuse, most likely.

Trying to change the story of how he died, by not having EMS find him in the fraternity house. They forgot they had video cameras in the house, apparently

If I want to blow Chad and Derek and call it a fraternity event, it's not LSU's place to tell me I can't. That's the entire point of this.

Their house is very small, too. I can't imagine they have much room to hide anything.

If these people are so misguided, immature, or just stupid that they would risk someone's life to avoid getting into trouble with college administrators the faults on them not the school.

You think? That might explain the pop up ads and my phone raising 20 degrees when I clicked on it



yeah, well its written by Rebekah Allen who just so happened to write the story last week that detailed all the Greek's sins since forever. If this bitch aint a hack pushing or toting an agenda, there isn't a cow in Texas.
Always love how they have to go back 20+ years to bring up Ben Wynn. Funny in all the criticism of the greek system at LSU, they never mention the other 99% who didnt die or do something stupid.

maybe they panicked and didnt want to wait for 911 and the ambulance? Maybe they freaked out and drove him there thinking that was the best way to get him help.

what do you think happened? What is your theory on the conspiracy?
