Campus deaths
Drugs to blame in three deaths
3/1/07
Investigation finds three male students have died of narcotic abuse since June Ask a Towson University administrator whether they know of any students who have died from alcohol or other drug use, and they usually say no. Sometimes the information isn't released to the University, they'll say. Other times, the death will seem suspicious, but the official cause isn't known until weeks later. And if the death doesn't happen on campus, the cause may never come to TU's attention. But in the last eight months, three male students have died of alcohol and narcotic intoxication, according to police reports and autopsy information obtained by The Towerlight. There may be other unreported deaths. In June, senior Tim Lawrence died of "narcotic (morphine) intoxication," according to the state's medical examiner's office. In November, as previously reported, senior Jared Seiden died of "narcotic (fentanyl) intoxication." Three weeks ago, sophomore Tony Villella died of "oxycodone and alcohol intoxication."
