Toxicology test results released in July show that Joseph Doyle, a Music junior who was found dead in Phi Kappa Psi over Spring Break, died of cocaine and alcohol intoxication.
Doyle, 22, was found dead in the fraternity house March 27, after staying in Evanston over Spring Break to search for an apartment and a summer job. He was buried April 2 in his hometown of Quincy, Mass.
The cause of death was not determined at the scene and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office ordered toxicology tests. A spokeswoman from the office said the time it took to process Doyle’s tests was not unusual. The case was closed June 26.
Although drugs and alcohol were indicated in the death, Alan Cubbage, vice president for university relations, said he did not know whether NU would investigate Phi Psi and deferred to William Banis, vice president for student affairs. Banis could not be reached for comment.
