Frat Brothers 'Abandoned' Drunk Student Who Was Later Found Dead In River: Lawsuit
HuffPost
Delta Chi members chose to "continue to party" rather than help their inebriated fraternity brother, Riley Strain, according to a suit filed by his family.
The family of Riley Strain, a University of Missouri student who was found dead after he disappeared while drinking with his fraternity brothers in Nashville, Tennessee, last year, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the organization and some of its members.
The lawsuit, filed in Boone County, Missouri, on Friday and reviewed by HuffPost, named the Delta Chi fraternity and 32 of its members, accusing them of negligence by failing to have adequate safety precautions to protect Strain and ensure that the fraternity brothers did not drink too much the night he went missing.
The family described Strain as “an often-reserved young man that did not tend to go with the typical fraternity flow.” They said he did not initially plan on attending the Delta Chi spring formal in Nashville but gave in after other members of the fraternity pressured him, according to the lawsuit.
Strain boarded a charter bus with his fraternity brothers headed on March 8 last year and was offered several alcoholic beverages while traveling, according to the lawsuit.
“Although it was supposed to be prohibited, this type of conduct was typical for the Delta Chi formal. It would have disastrous results for Riley,” the lawsuit reads.
