Stone Foltz's family vows to use a nearly $3 million settlement with Bowling Green State University following the 2021 death of their son in a fraternity initiation to combat hazing at universities across the county.
Stone Foltz, 20, was given a copious amount of alcohol, attorney Sean Alto told The Columbus Dispatch.
In a statement to CNN on Sunday, Alto called Foltz s death a tragedy. He was a beloved son, brother, and grandson, Alto said. At this time we are gathering all of the facts leading to his untimely death and we have no interest in commenting on speculation.
Pi Kappa Alpha International Fraternity said in a statement Saturday that a new member of the BGSU chapter was involved in an alleged incident of alcohol-related hazing at an off-campus event. The International Fraternity is horrified and outraged by this incident, the international fraternity said in a statement. The Fraternity has a zero-tolerance policy toward illegal activity, substance abuse, bullying, and hazing of any kind.
