"Police and firefighters went to the Alpha Delta Phi house around 11:26 p.m. after a caller reported an unresponsive person who had possibly drowned, Berkeley police spokesperson Officer Byron White said in an email Wednesday. When police arrived, they walked into a large party of more than 300 people, White wrote. The area was overcrowded and there was clear evidence of heavy alcohol consumption."
"The area was overcrowded and there was clear evidence of heavy alcohol consumption. The Berkeley Fire Department took the teen to a hospital. He was listed in critical condition and, sometime in the intervening days, died. White said BPD did not have a specific day or time. More details were not immediately available from the Alameda County Sheriff's Office's Coroner's Bureau."
A 19-year-old student died after a possible drowning at a UC Berkeley fraternity house pool party on Nov. 14, 2025. Emergency workers found him unresponsive and the Berkeley Fire Department took him to a hospital, where he was listed in critical condition and later died. Police cited Alpha Delta Phi and the house affiliate for creating a public nuisance and for exceeding a 200-person limit by more than half. Officers arrived about 11:26 p.m. after a caller reported an unresponsive person and found a party of more than 300 people with clear evidence of heavy alcohol consumption. Police said they do not suspect foul play and officials have not released the student's name or a precise time of death; the coroner had no immediate details.
