Max Gruver had been a student at Louisiana State University for a month in 2017 when he died of alcohol poisoning and aspiration after a hazing ritual at the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house.

......

the 18-year-old from Roswell, Georgia, took part in the ritual that required pledges to take three to five-second chugs from a bottle of a spirit called Diesel.

An autopsy found that Gruver had a blood-alcohol level of 0.495 per cent, more than six times the legal driving limit in the state.

......

In 2019, Matthew Naquin, of Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas, was convicted of negligent homicide and sentenced to five years in prison. A judge suspended everything but two-and-a-half years.

Ryan Isto and another fraternity member, Sean Paul Gott, pleaded no contest to a misdemeanour charge in connection with the criminal case and were sentenced to 30 days in jail.
