I don't understand why the fraternity is suspended already. What if he died of a cerebral aneurysm or an unknown heart defect or arrhythmia? He was also living in his own off-campus housing. Even if toxicology finds excessive levels of alcohol or drugs, is it automatically the fraternity's fault? Or is there a lot more going on here than I know?

The article said the body was found off campus but it didn't say it was his own home or that he was there alone.

Coroner Gary Watts says his body was found around 10:30 a.m. at a home on Lee Street, which is off-campus.

Eta: he died in a fraternity party

My niece is a sophomore at USC and belongs to a sorority. She says everyone parties pretty heavily, and the freshman boys in particular, get really wasted. She attributes it to kids never having been able to party in high school and go wild when they get to college. I am so sorry for this family's loss. He sounded like a really nice young man. How devastating.

I don't understand why the fraternity is suspended already.

Probably because they have more information then is being released. They must have some information of wrong doing on the part of the fraternity.
