8:00 p.m. February 3, 2005
CHICO – A California State University student died of "water intoxication" during hazing in the basement of a fraternity, authorities said Thursday.
Matthew Carrington, 21, died early Wednesday while drinking water from a five-gallon jug and doing exercises at the Chi Tau house near the Chico campus, said Chico Police Sgt. Dave Barrow.
An autopsy showed death was triggered by hyponatremia, a condition in which excess water in the body causes sodium levels in the blood to drop. Water is then absorbed into the blood and fluid builds up in the brain.
