USC freshman found dead in dorm room
A tragedy at 'SC: "A USC freshman was found dead in his New/North dorm room around noon Wednesday, after suffering from what appears to be an accidental drug overdose, USC Department of Public Safety officials said." (Hat tip: Becky.)
The student's name is Michael Weiss. His death reportedly follows on the heels of a "series of incidents involving substance abuse" at New/North, "prompting a mass e-mail to residents warning of a new zero tolerance drug use policy."
So sad. May he rest in peace.
If there are so many drug users in that dorm, can't someone show him the difference between a good dose and an over-dose? Maybe he was the loser that got stuck in the dorms over spring break.

What a terrible age to lose a family member! :(

You think, as a parent, that sending them off to college is the right thing to do, that there is no down side to that. And then this happens...
