We had a classmate die on the last night of finals this year.
The last time anyone saw him he was at the big "Finals are over" parties downtown, the next day a jogger found him floating in the Potomac.
Much like with this Cheerleader story, I first thought of the worst, someone tried to roll the guy while he was drunk, and he put up a fight.
But there were no signs of a struggle, and interesting enough he was also missing most of his clothes (If I recall, he was wearing his boxers and Sox). The cause of death was drowning, and they are calling it an accident. I guess the theory being that he was very drunk and decided to go for a swim that didn't work out for him.
Drunk and Stupid is a horrible way to go, and I consider myself very lucky that it hasn't claimed me.
