The family of Stone Foltz, a Bowling Green State University student who prosecutors said died from alcohol intoxication during a 2021 fraternity hazing, has reached a $2.9 million settlement with the university

, the family’s attorney announced Monday. “Kudos to Bowling Green and the state of Ohio for understanding the importance of sending a message, in this case that this has got to stop, at least in the state of Ohio and hopefully beyond,” attorney Rex Elliott said. The settlement is the largest payout by a public university in a hazing case in the state of Ohio, Elliott said.

Prosecutors said a coroner ruled his death an accident resulting from a fatal level of alcohol intoxication during a hazing involving members of the Pi Kappa Alpha International Fraternity’s Delta Beta Chapter in Bowling Green, CNN reported. Two fraternity members were sentenced to 42 days in jail, followed by 28 days of house arrest, and placed on two years of probation with conditions, according to a release from Wood County prosecutor Paul Dobson.
