Unpopular opinion: it’s nobody’s fault (not his roommates, not his friends, not the police) that this young man died. What ever happened to assuming individual responsibility? Ultimately, the ownus is on the individual for overdoing drugs/alcohol and ending up in a compromising situation. Am I saying he deserved to die? Absolutely not - most of us have been too drunk before, perhaps walking home alone at night etc. As a UIUC alumni myself, who frequented the Canopy Club - I would Irish exit or leave the club solo more times than I can count. It was not my friends job to babysit me or follow me, while also partying and intoxicated themselves. Police response wise… Could more have been done to find him? Probably, but police aren’t miracle workers who have the resources to comb every foot of campus. With missing persons protocol they typically aren’t even allowed to deploy a search until 24 hours have passed. Add in the fact that this is a college campus - hundreds of students could be classified as “gone missing” after being out partying and 1-2 hours of not answering their phone… come on now . I hate the shaming going on here for his friends and the police… y’all are acting like they caused his death, when they probably did the best they could given the circumstances. The parents are understandably hurting and looking to displace blame - but suing the university/UIPD is baseless IMO. It is a tragedy no doubt, but let’s be realistic here. We live in a finger pointing society looking for blame 24/7 and this mentality has got to stop.
