Fraternity Hazing Led to Fatal Alcohol Poisoning | Seattle News
Description
A 20-year-old fraternity brother, Carter Eslick, just pleaded guilty to felony hazing linked to the death of 18-year-old Colin Martinez, who died from alcohol poisoning during a Delta Tau Delta initiation in Flagstaff. Under a plea deal, Eslick faces up to a year in prison and loses civil rights like voting and gun ownership — though probation is guaranteed. Prosecutors say he supplied alcohol and led a drinking game that pushed Martinez to a fatal BAC of .425%. Eslick admitted the facts; Martinez’s family’s lawyer called it a preventable tragedy. The fraternity suspended operations after the incident, and sentencing is set for September 30 — a sobering reminder of the deadly risks of hazing rituals.
