Tonight shockwaves through the campus at San Diego State University after the death of Dylan Hernandez. It's horrifying and I feel terrible for the parents. The 19 year old college freshman was rushed to a hospital the day after attending a Phi Gamma Delta fraternity event Wednesday night. The university reacted swiftly suspending 14 fraternities after a campus police investigation uncovered possible misconduct at the fraternity, saying in part the university will keep organizations under suspension while it considers next steps. The fraternity responded saying Phi Gamma Delta is working with the university and local authorities to understand the circumstances surrounding this tragic accident.
This is not the first time Phi Gamma Delta has found itself punished by the University. Two years ago the fraternity was put under probation after violating alcohol related policies. Tonight the mother of Timothy Piazza, who died from a hazing incident at Penn State in 2017, posted her support for the Hernandez family. When you send your child off to college you expect them to come home. He should have been able to come home to them. We're told Hernandez's family said their goodbyes on Sunday night. Today the university president offering prayers in support to students while the investigation into what happened here ramps up.
