TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Death by fraternity hazing JO - American journal of forensic medicine and pathology A1 - Boglioli, L. R. A1 - Taff, M. L. SP - 42 EP - 44 VL - 16 IS - 1 N2 - Fraternity hazing can cause a variety of injuries and deaths. We recently had the opportunity to investigate a heat-related death that occurred during a college fraternity event. The original death investigation did not consider the circumstances of death, environmental conditions, or the subtle autopsy findings related to heat stroke. This case is intended to alert health care professionals that deaths on college campuses may be related to fraternity hazing and may require in-depth investigations. An analysis of the death and a discussion of heat-related injuries are presented.
