INDIANA, Pa. (AP) - May 1, 2009
Indiana County Coroner Michael Baker says 18-year-old Douglas Haney, of Bellefonte, was using marijuana and chewing on fentanyl painkilling patches before he died in his room Feb. 10. Baker says chewing the patches quickly released a three-day supply of drugs into Haney's system and he ingested three times the lethal dose.
Another student, 18-year-old Brenton Croll, of Roaring Spring,
died March 18 in a friend's dorm room. Baker says he died from
drinking heavily while using prescription drugs, including the
antidepressant Xanax. The effects of such drugs are increased by
alcohol.
Campus and Indiana police are investigating.
