BERKELEY — A 19-year-old UC Berkeley student who died Nov. 17, three days after he was hospitalized in an apparent near-drowning at a fraternity house pool, was identified by the coroner’s bureau Friday.
An exact cause of death has not yet been released for George Mauricio Salinas, of San Diego.
Police have said foul play was not a factor, but they added they were asking the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office to review the case to determine if charges are warranted, including possibly against the safety coordinator of the fraternity for furnishing alcohol to those under 21.
Emergency crews found Mauricio Salinas unresponsive from a possible drowning about 11:25 p.m. Nov. 14 next to the pool at the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity house in the 2400 block of Prospect St. He was taken to a hospital, where he died Nov. 17.
Police said the incident happened while a large party was underway at the fraternity. Police estimated the attendance at more than 300 and said officers observed overcrowding and heavy drinking. Police issued a civil notice of violation relating to public nuisances during loud and out-of-control gatherings.
Authorities said the party also exceeded the 200-person limit and that the fire department issued a citation for violating its Indoor Entertainment Event permit.
National Alpha Delta Phi officials later said it had suspended the activities of the UC chapter and that Mauricio Salinas was not a member of the fraternity.
