Wood County Prosecuting Attorney Paul Dobson says the indictments stem from an alleged Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity event the night of March 4th at an off-campus house which Foltz was required to attend along with other new members.
A roommate later found Foltz unresponsive in his Bowling Green apartment. When first responders arrived, Foltz was not breathing and was being given CPR by his roommate.
Foltz was taken to the Wood County Hospital and then transferred to Toledo Hospital where he died on March 7th.
The Lucas County Coroner ruled his death an accident as the result of a fatal level of alcohol intoxication during a hazing incident
Wood County Prosecuting Attorney Paul Dobson thanked the Bowling Green Police Division for their tireless and ongoing investigation, as well as the Bowling Green State University police and administration for their cooperation.
