ONE DEAD, FOUR ARRESTED AT TEXAS A&M FRATERNITY

  

Police are investigating the death of a 19-year-old student on Saturday at the Sigma Nu house on Fraternity Row at Texas A&M University.

In a preliminary investigation, police believe the student died of a drug overdose. However, the exact substance that caused the student’s death has not been determined.

According to College Station Police, officers responded to the house earlier on Friday night to issue a warning to the fraternity members. At approximately 5 a.m. on Saturday morning the police were called again. This time they responded to the unconscious 19-year-old. He was rushed to College Station Medical, where he was pronounced dead.

After finding illegal substances in the house, police arrested Ty Robertson, 21, on a charge of possession of LSD and Ecstasy; Michael Frymire, 20, on a possession of cannabis hash oil; and Samuel Patterson, 21, and Christian Sanford, 18, on possession of marijuana.

Sigma Nu has released a statement saying, “Our thoughts, prayers and deepest condolences are with his family and loved ones” and that “The Fraternity will assist, however possible, with the investigation by local authorities. At the appropriate time, the Fraternity and University will complete their own investigations."

The identity of the deceased man has yet to be released.
