An autopsy has confirmed that a student who died after a party at a Texas A&M University fraternity had an accidental drug overdose.
A College Station Police Department statement issued Wednesday says 19-year-old Anton Gridnev of Frisco died of an accidental overdose of several different types of opiates after the Aug. 20 party at the Sigma Nu fraternity.
Warrants on drug-related charges were issued for at least 10 A&M students, and national Sigma Nu officials suspended the fraternity's A&M chapter.
Gridnev was reportedly found unresponsive and not breathing during an all-night party at the fraternity house.
After someone noticed Gridnev's condition, police were called. Officers arrived at about 4:40 a.m. and noted the party was ongoing. CPR was performed and Gridnev was transported to College Station Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
After finding illegal narcotics at the home, College Station police obtained a search warrant and arrested four people for possession of illegal drugs and cited three others for possession of drug paraphernalia.
Later, six other fraternity members were arrested on warrants ranging from possession of marijuana to the manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance.
