After a night of drinking during an initiation party, University of Northern Colorado student, Ross Higuchi, lost his life after jumping from the second-floor balcony of the Delta Tau Delta house during a dispute with his new brothers.

Ross jumped following a heated debate with fraternity members about damage to a door, which those fraternity members said he would have to pay for.

Ross’ blood-alcohol content level at the time of his death was .286.
