Stone Foltz death: Grand jury indicts 8 in Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity party drinking-related death at Bowling Green University - WLS-TV

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -- Eight people were indicted Thursday in the death of Bowling Green State University student Stone Foltz, who died after drinking at a fraternity event, prosecutors said in a news release.

"The indictments stem from an alleged Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity event the evening of March 4th at an off-campus house which Mr. Foltz was required to attend along with the other new members," according to the release from Wood County Prosecuting Attorney Paul A. Dobson.

Foltz was later found unresponsive in his apartment, said the prosecutor's release. "The Lucas County Coroner ruled the death an accident as the result of a fatal level of alcohol intoxication during a hazing incident," according to the release.

Eight people, who are between 19 and 23, face a variety of charges including felony involuntary manslaughter, reckless homicide, hazing, failure to comply with underage alcohol laws, obstruction and tampering with evidence, CNN reported according to the release.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said after 20-year-old Foltz's death that he supports a bill to reform hazing laws in the state.

The most serious manslaughter charge carries a maximum penalty of 11 years in prison, according to the prosecutor's release.

"Some of the alcohol-related offenses involve providing alcohol to underage persons, while others reference permitting that activity at their residence," said the release.

There are multiple misdemeanor counts of hazing and failure to comply with underage alcohol laws which "reflect the allegation that those defendants participated in providing copious amounts of alcohol to Mr. Foltz and the other new members," according to the release.

Medicare Open Enrollment ends December 7. The easy choice is to stay with all-in-one Medicare Advantage instead of switching to Traditional Medicare plus a supplement and drug plan. The hard one is whether to switch between Medicare Advantage plans, from a well-liked one to one accepted at a so-called top-10 hospital. Humana Gold Plus, a Medicare Advantage HMO, has served me well for five years. Hearing aids cost me only $10 after its $2,000 allowance. Routine doctor and dentist appointments and my medication cost nothing. But Humana Gold Plus is not accepted by Northwestern Memorial Hospital, the nearby hospital that US News & World Report ranks as the tenth best in the country, or by Northwestern Medicine physicians. My primary care physician is in an Advocate Medical Group. If I were hospitalized, it would be at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. If I had a serious illness, I’d see specialists in Advocate’s network. Illinois Masonic is not a second-rate hospital, and...
