They say that his death was ruled an accident. Due to breathing carbon dioxide from a canister.
What does this mean? How do you accidentally breath in carbon dioxide from a canister while you're in a storage room in a frat house?
The way they're reporting this, it doesn't make any sense.

I dunno, maybe he mistook it for nitrous oxide? I could see that being in a frat house storage room.
What I want to know is why they didn't scour the kid's frat house as soon as he went missing. Wouldn't that be the first place you look? I thought I heard he had recently been kicked out of the house or the fraternity or whatever but still, wouldn't you look there first?
