Penn State frat's 'grotesque actions' were 'beyond human decency,' Piazza family attorney says
    By EMILY SHAPIRO    May 8, 2017,

 The attorney for the family of Penn State fraternity pledge Timothy Piazza, who died after falling down stairs during a pledge ceremony at the frat house, called the actions of the fraternity brothers who didn't call for help the "worst possible debauchery and depravity that you could possibly have anywhere, let alone a college campus."

Piazza, a 19-year-old Penn State sophomore, died on Feb. 4 after he fell down the stairs at Penn State's Beta Theta Pi fraternity the night of Feb. 2. Piazza's blood alcohol content reached 0.28 and 0.36 percent that night. Police were not called to the Beta Theta Pi house -- which has since been barred from Penn State -- until about 12 hours after the initial fall. According to the forensic pathologist, Piazza's death "was the direct result of traumatic brain injuries."

The audio from the 42-second call, made by Beta Theta Pi brother Ryan McCann, was released Monday by The Associated Press.

During the call, McCann, 21, who is charged with tampering with evidence in connection with the case, tells the dispatcher that Timothy Piazza, 19, is unconscious. He does not explain to the dispatcher that Piazza had fallen down a flight of stairs 12 hours earlier. He does admit alcohol was involved in Piazza's condition.  ... Rest of story
