The autopsy report came back yesterday for Jason Wren, the 19-year-old University of Kansas student who was found dead at a Lawrence frat house in March, and wow. The report said Wren's blood alcohol content at the time of his death was 0.362 -- more than four times the legal limit of 0.08 to drive.
Here's a snip from KSHB Channel 41:
Wren'sfather, Jay Wren, said the Lawrence Police Department told him his son
had drank margaritas at a Lawrence restaurant, 10 to 12 beers at the
fraternity house and some whiskey.
To put Wren's blood alcohol content into perspective, a Brown University site on "alcohol and your body" says a 0.30 is "severe intoxication; minimum conscious control of mind and body; needs hospitalization" and a 0.30 to 0.60 is the "level of alcohol has been measured in people who have died of alcohol intoxication," as in Wren's case.
The University of Oklahoma Police Department's site says a coma is possible when someone's blood alcohol content is 0.35. "This is the level of surgical anesthesia."
Earlier this year, KU instituted a new policies, including telling the parents of students who are busted for underage drinking on campus.

Bizarre... I just found your blog by looking for 'financial spreadbetting' on Yahoo. But I can't find any articles about that subject on here?
