Stone Foltz was admitted to hospital after a Pi Kappa Alpha event off campus on Thursday.
A Bowling Green State University student is in critical condition after a suspected fog with alcohol.
The student has been identified as Stone Foltz, family lawyer Sean Alto told ABC News.
Foltz was admitted to hospital after an “alleged alcohol abuse” during a Pi Kappa Alpha rally off campus in Bowling Green, Ohio, the university said in a statement.
According to ProMedica Toledo Hospital, he is currently in critical condition. Doctors treating Foltz are going through the organ donation process, Alto said.
The Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity said in a statement to ABC News that they were “terrified and furious” about the incident.
The fraternity wrongly said that Foltz had died in his initial statement.
“We express our sincere and heartfelt sympathy to the student’s family and friends and all those affected by this tragic loss,” the organization said. This statement was later updated to remove any reference to the student’s death.
In response to the initial statement, Alto told ABC News: “It is insensitive and inappropriate to make a statement that he passed away when he was not yet. The information is still coming out, just wait and gather the facts. “It’s awful to do it in front of the family. They’re only focused on their son, their brother, their grandson.”
The Delta Beta chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha at BGSU 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.
