"A 19-year old UC Berkeley student has died after being hospitalized last week for nearly drowning during a fraternity party, authorities confirmed Wednesday morning. Emergency personnel responded to a call at around 11:30 p.m. Friday from a fraternity house off campus on Greek Row about an unresponsive person who had possibly drowned. The Berkeley Fire Department transported took the student to a hospital, where he was initially listed in critical condition but later passed away."
"On the night of the emergency call, police arrived at a large party at Alpha Delta Phi, which is commonly referred to as "Aquadelt" by students because it is the only fraternity on Greek Row with a swimming pool. Officers observed an estimated crowd of over 300 people, which exceeded the facility's 200-person limit. After noting conditions consistent with overcrowding and heavy alcohol consumption, authorities issued a civil notice violation relating to public nuisances involving loud and unruly gatherings."

Emergency personnel responded around 11:30 p.m. Friday to a fraternity house off-campus on Greek Row about an unresponsive person who had possibly drowned. The Berkeley Fire Department transported the student to a hospital, where he was initially listed in critical condition but later passed away. Berkeley Police do not suspect foul play or hazing. The Alameda County coroner's bureau will determine the official cause and manner of death. Authorities observed overcrowding and heavy alcohol consumption at the Alpha Delta Phi party, issued a civil notice violation for public nuisance, cited an Indoor Entertainment Event permit violation, and forwarded a case to the Alameda County district attorney for review of potential charges.
