7 plead not guilty in Stone Foltz hazing death

BOWLING GREEN (AP) — Seven men have pleaded not guilty to various charges in the fraternity hazing death of a Bowling Green State University student from Delaware County.

The men were indicted last month in the March 7 death of 20-year-old Stone Foltz.

Authorities say Foktz was blindfolded and told to drink an excessive and ultimately fatal amount of alcohol during an off-campus hazing ritual.

Fraternity members took Foltz to his apartment afterward where a roommate later found Foltz unconscious. He died three days later.

The charges vary by student and include involuntary manslaughter, reckless homicide, felonious assault, hazing and violating state alcohol laws.
