Stone Foltz was admitted to hospital after a Pi Kappa Alpha event off campus on Thursday.
Stone Foltz, a student at Bowling Green State University, died Sunday after a suspected alcohol overdose.
“The death of Stone Foltz is a tragedy. He was a beloved son, brother and grandson,” family lawyer Sean Alto said.
Foltz was admitted to hospital Thursday after an “alleged abuse of alcohol use” at a Pi Kappa Alpha event off campus in Bowling Green, Ohio, the university said in a statement. He was in a critical condition at ProMedica Toledo Hospital for three days.
“At the moment we are collecting all the facts leading to his untimely death and we have no interest in commenting on speculation,” Alto said. “However, we ask that you please show respect and esteem for Stone’s family. Despite their unbearable sadness, they have agreed to donate Stone’s organs so that others can have a second chance at their lives.”
The Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity said in a statement to ABC News that they were “terrified and furious” about the incident.
“We express our deepest sympathy and condolences to the student’s family and friends and to all those affected by this tragic loss,” the organization said in its initial statement, erroneously saying Foltz died while still in hospital.
The Delta Beta chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha at Bowling Green State University was placed on administrative suspension after the incident, according to the International Brotherhood.
“As more details are confirmed, we will also seek the permanent suspension of Delta Beta Chapter, as well as the expulsion of all members of the chapter from the International Frathood,” the organization said.
The international fraternity said it would cooperate fully with the authorities.
The university said it was aware of the incident and the fraternity would be placed on interim suspension as they worked with law enforcement to investigate. “We want to show our care and support for our students and the community affected,” said Alex Solis, university spokesman.
“As Pi Kappa Alpha is not currently recognized as a registered student organization, the fraternity’s Greek letters were removed from the campus residence this morning,” Solis said.
