Louisiana police announced arrest warrants for 10 people accused of a role in forcing a university student to drink himself to death last month.
All of the suspects are affiliated with the social club that police say 18-year-old Maxwell Gruver was attempting to join when he died.
According to a police affidavit, on the night of 13 September Gruver had been forced to drink during a Phi Delta Theta initiation each time he incorrectly answered questions about the university’s all-male club.
Gruver died of “acute alcohol intoxication with aspiration”, according to a post-mortem examination by the East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner.
“Maxwell Gruver’s family will mourn his loss for the rest of their lives, and several other students are now facing serious consequences – all due to a series of poor decision,” he continued.
