Investigation into Dartmouth College student's death in Connecticut River for possible hazing

In a tragic incident at Dartmouth College, the death of 20-year-old student Won Jang is under investigation by the Hanover, New Hampshire police. Jang, a member of the Beta Alpha Omega fraternity, was reported missing and later found dead in the Connecticut River near the Dartmouth boathouse. Authorities are looking into the possibility of alcohol and hazing being factors in his death, as witnesses last saw him at an informal gathering at the docks the night before his body was discovered. Hanover Police Chief Charlie Dennis mentioned receiving anonymous emails raising concerns about hazing or alcohol involvement in Jang's death, prompting further investigation into these aspects. While foul play is not suspected, the police are exploring all leads to determine the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident. Dartmouth College, an Ivy League institution, has been cooperative in the investigation, urging anyone with information to come forward to assist in the case. The fraternity to which Jang belonged, Beta Alpha Omega, had previously faced suspensions for violations of community standards, as reported by The Dartmouth. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department confirmed that Jang had not left the river area before his body was found, and a toxicology report is expected to provide more insights in the coming months. Dean of the College Scott Brown expressed condolences to the Dartmouth community, highlighting Jang's contributions to academic and personal pursuits during his time at the college. As the investigation into Won Jang's death continues, authorities are appealing for information from the public to shed light on the circumstances leading to the tragic loss of the Dartmouth College student. The community is grappling with the shock of the incident, with concerns raised about potential hazing practices and alcohol-related incidents that may have played a role in the untimely death of a promising young student.
