UC Berkeley student who drowned during fraternity pool party is identified
"The young man who died after a drowning incident at a UC Berkeley fraternity party has been identified as George Mauricio Salinas, 19, of San Diego, according to the Alameda County Sheriff's Office's Coroner's Bureau. Salinas was pronounced dead at 3:50 p.m. on Nov. 17, a little less than three days after police and firefighters found him unresponsive at the Alpha Delta Phi chapter house on Prospect Street. His cause of death remains under investigation, according to the coroner's office."
"Police and firefighters have cited the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity and the affiliate that owns the chapter house, accusing them of creating a public nuisance and for exceeding by more than half a 200-person limit for a party the chapter was throwing that night. 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."
