Hazing and Alcohol Possibly lead to Death of LSU student

An 18-year-old LSU freshman from Georgia has died in what university officials are calling a possible hazing incident at Phi Delta Theta Fraternity House. LSU System President F King Alexander says the death of Maxwell Gruver is tragic and untimely.

Gruver was pronounced dead at a local hospital and Alexander says it is believed alcohol is involved. Alexander says hazing will not be tolerated at LSU.

 

Phil Delta has been suspended by the school and national organization. Alexander says a young man’s life was cut short on Wednesday night and it didn’t need to happen.
