A 19-year-old Baruch College freshman died from "too many" tackles during a fraternity hazing over the weekend in the Poconos, a Pennnsylvania prosecutor said Wednesday.
Chun Hsien "Michael" Deng was one of four pledges to his college chapter of Pi Delta Psi who took part in what was described as a hazing ritual in a yard outside a home in Tunkhannock Township, authorities said.
Deng suffered a head injury Sunday morning and was taken inside the home, officials said. When he didn't recover "after some time," he was driven to the emergency room at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Hospital in Wilkes-Barre on Sunday morning, where he was unresponsive and listed in critical condition.
He was placed on life support but died Monday of what was described as "major brain trauma."
"He got tackled too many times," said Monroe County District Attorney E. David Christine without elaboration.
About 30 members of the fraternity were taking part in the weekend getaway. Investigators found 20 Pi Delta Psi members at the home when they arrived and are trying to identify who was responsible for the fatal injuries, Christine said.
Pi Delta Psi identifies itself as "an Asian American cultural fraternity" founded in 1994, with a mission "to spread Asian American cultural awareness." It has more than 20 chapters in 11 states and the District of Columbia.
Hmm. Not sure that Marty is Asian-American.
He still hasn't come back. :( Despite the fact it was I who drove him off, he still hasn't taken me off his Friend list on Facebook.

He's in the sin bin.
I regularly get messages in a strange, primitive language commenting on some story with pictures of men kissing.

You didn't drive him off; the powers-that-be exiled him.
Oh, well I feel better now.

Not so fast, my friend. It's bad enough I erroneously get the rap for bmolsson, I'm not going to get it for Marti too, goddammit. :mad:
Everybody knows you don't have any real power, that's why Tim continues to walk among us. :contract:

It's not a secret.
