Ohio State Frat Fire Is Now a Hazing Investigation — Two Students Suffered Second- and Third-Degree Burns
Columbus police are now investigating the Ohio State University fraternity fire as a potential hazing incident, according to police records obtained by The Columbus Dispatch.
The police report, filed Nov. 9, lists hazing charges under investigation in connection with the Nov. 7 incident at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house on Indianola Avenue. Police responded to the house on Nov. 8 around 9:30 p.m.
Two men suffered second- and third-degree burns and were treated, according to the reports. The university’s Interfraternity Council says it will revisit its risk-management practices in light of the incident.
This is a developing story. ToledoBuzz previously reported on the fire and the fraternity’s suspension.
