Police are investigating the death of Dartmouth College student Won Jang, whose body was found in a river over the weekend. Jang, a member of the class of 2026 and a biomedical engineering major, was last seen at the Connecticut River docks and reported missing before being discovered in the water offshore. Questions have arisen about the potential role of hazing in his death, as he had attended a joint event involving alcohol with his fraternity and a sorority before his disappearance.
Authorities are looking into the involvement of hazing in Jang’s death, as there has been speculation about alcohol-related incidents during the event he attended. While no cause of death has been determined, foul play is not suspected. Jang’s friends have described him as a kind and ambitious individual who aspired to win a Nobel Prize and make significant contributions to the field of science. The investigation into his death remains active, with autopsy results pending.
Amid the investigation, the college has suspended the fraternity and sorority involved in the event where Jang was last seen and is awaiting further information to make determinations. Jang’s girlfriend described him as a caring individual who deeply valued his relationships and had ambitious dreams for the future. As the community mourns his loss, authorities continue to delve into the circumstances surrounding his tragic death.
