Andrew Coffey, a civil engineering student at Florida State University and a Pi Kappa Phi pledge, died at an off-campus chapter party
Police are investigating the death of a Florida State University fraternity pledge at a chapter party.
The Tallahassee police say no one has been arrested in the death of Pi Kappa Phi pledge Andrew Coffey at an off-campus house party that occurred between Thursday and Friday.
The 20-year-old Coffey was a civil engineering major from Pompano Beach.
The Tallahassee Democrat reports that officers were collecting alcoholic beverage bottles that were scattered on the home’s porch as evidence.
Coffey was found unresponsive at about 10.25am the morning after the party, authorities say. Attempts to revive him were unsuccessful.
The fraternity has been suspended by its national organization pending the conclusion of the investigation.
No arrests have been made, nor suspects identified.
