LITTLETON, Colo., March 10 (UPI) -- A Colorado student died after drinking margaritas, as many as a dozen beers and whiskey at a University of Kansas fraternity house, his father says.
Jay Wren of Littleton, Colo., said his son Jason Wren, 19, a former high school honors student and KU college freshman, was killed by "one week of fraternity living," the Denver Post reported Tuesday.
"He overdrank. Kids have got to understand alcohol is the worst," Jay Wren told the newspaper.
Jason Wren was found dead by Lawrence, Kan., police in KU's Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house about 2:30 p.m. Sunday after day and night of heavy drinking during which the student reportedly boasted that he never got sick when he got drunk.
The student's father told the Post the fraternity brothers did not take Wren to the hospital after he stumbled out of bed in distress, instead putting him back to bed.
Brandon Weghorst, spokesman for SAE's national headquarters, told the newspaper the fraternity's national staff was in Lawrence investigating the death.
