According to WBRE TV in Wilkes-Barre, Bloomsburg police believe Brian Savage’s death was alcohol related. The apartment complex where Brian died was raided in April and 16 people were cited for underage drinking.
Savage was reportedly drinking vodka and beer the night he died. Police are looking for Brian’s book bag which they believe will offer clues about what exactly happened. The book bag is missing.
Police are awaiting toxicology results.
It looks as though we are starting off this year like last year, only instead of Penn State it is Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania with the dubious distinction.
A 19-year-old sophomore from Elizabethtown died at Bloomsburg University Saturday morning. Brian Savage was unable to be revived by paramedics after being found unresponsive in a Bloomsburg apartment where he had been drinking with friends. Brian was a member of the soccer team and was majoring in business management.
An autopsy is scheduled on Tuesday.
The investigation into the death of Latrobe native Joe Dado, who was found dead at the bottom of a stairwell on the Penn State University main campus in State College, has come to a conclusion.
Two 21 year old Penn State students were charged with giving the underage freshman the alcohol that contributed to his death. Jennifer Clifford, 21, from the Johnstown area and John Townsend, 21, from the Latrobe area are being charged with misdemeanors. Townsend and Dado were friends from high school.
Two Penn State Fraternities, Alpha Tau Omego and Phi Gamma Delta, were both charged with one count of selling or furnishing alcohol to minors and one count of unlawful acts relative to alcohol.
Both University and State College police have determined that drinking excessive amounts of alcohol was the contributing factor in Joe Dado’s death. Dado’s blood alcohol level was .169, more than twice the legal limit to operate a motor vehicle!
Mr. Townsend expressed deep regret over the incident. Joe Dado’s father declined to comment.
A very sad conclusion to a very tragic event.
A preliminary hearing is being scheduled for December 2nd.
