While reporting primarily on the circumstances behind Peter Sand's tragedy,
the article included this sad tabulation of recent deaths involving youth
alcohol use:
- "Peter Sand of Zumbrota was found dead Tuesday morning in the living room of his
cousin’s home near Hamline University in St. Paul, said St. Paul police. Sand
would have been a junior this month at MSU in Mankato.
- Tony Lee Miller, 22, died in his North Mankato apartment from alcohol poisoning
after drinking heavily in January. The body of the South Central College
graduate was found by a friend checking his Koppen Gardens apartment.
- A month later, MSU students Rissa Amen-Reif, 22, of Eden Prairie, was killed and
friend Corinne Overstake, 21, of Loretto, Minn., was seriously injured after
drinking and being struck by a car on Third Avenue after getting lost. Amen-Reif’s
blood-alcohol reading was .06 at the time of the crash, which happened about an
hour after they had walked away from a sorority party at a bar nearly two miles
away.
- In mid-December, Winona State University student Jenna Foellmi’s body was found
in an off-campus apartment in what police called a “classic case of binge
drinking.”
- In early January, Brian Threet, 20, of Farmington, who was about to re-enroll at
St. Cloud State University, was found dead after a night of partying and
drinking games in St. Cloud."
