Link to the important idea of researcher Steven Lukes that he posted online. Worth a close reading. https://t.co/9ktn4C45wv

Savanna Jones died about the same time or close to same time that school's well known HOUNDS OF SOUND had audition. Not a whole lot of info available on death of Savanna Marie Jones at Wilberforce U. in Ohio. Tests for alcohol underway. Family hired attorney who handles hazing cases. Repeat: no exact cause of death available. In HS she was in band: Toledo Scott HS Orchestra and Fantastic Dance Machine Marching Band

Another hazing trial ahead in 2026: Carter Thomas Eslick (20): The fraternity's new member educator was indicted by a grand jury on one felony count of hazing. He pleaded not guilty in April 2026. Colin Martinez was the victim at No. Az U, Delta Tau Delta.

@JayBilas Bilas at his punk worst, but he's practiced that sour move for years.

Police released the name of Colin Daniel Martinez who died with blood alcohol level 5x legal limit at Northern Arizona University Delta Tau Delta house.

[Hazing: Hank Nuwer @Hazing]

lagstaff police were the target in 2020 of large-scale protests for alleged brutality by local law enforcement. Their lack of transparency in the death of a NAU Delta Tau Delta pledge at a "party" doesn't surprise me.

Police investigations into hazing deaths at Dartmouth; Pullman, Washington, etc., have been flawed. Now the coroner and law enforcement in Flagstaff, AZ have withheld the public's right to know the name of the hazing victim at NAU Delta Tau Delta.

[Hazing: Hank Nuwer @Hazing]

Florida International University Delta Tau Delta had a pledge with a pledging bush with death due to hazing on 12/5/25.

[Hazing: Hank Nuwer @Hazing]

Court records dug up by local media show that four NAU Delta tau Delta pledges were ordered to consume two handles of liquor. There is rarely a case like this where the coroner is waiting so long to release name of victim--it'srare to have key info of public interested redacted.

Delta Tau Delta, Northern Arizona University prior to Death: 1/26: House Tour; 1/27: Casino Night; 1/28 VALUES NIGHT; 1/23 Interviews. 1/30: Dinner and "Bids Offered."
The 18 year old who died almost definitely was a pledge or associate member, not a visiting rushee.

Delta Tau Delta NAU chapter vice president Ryan Creech, treasurer Riley Cass and director of new member education Carter Eslick)were charged with criminal hazing in rush death. https://t.co/HN39PIwcea. .

[Hazing: Hank Nuwer @Hazing]

Note: At least one school hazing death each year occurred 1959 through 2026 according to my (Hank Nuwer) count and research. A rush death at Northern Arizona University’s Delta Tau Delta was reported in 2026.

Very sad. No one sober to notice and help. https://t.co/1iCMb0I4wC
