GENESEO, N.Y., Mar 3, 2009 (UPI via COMTEX) -- A college student in upstate New
York died after drinking large quantities of beer, champagne, vodka and gin over
10 hours, police said.
Arman Partamian, 19, a sophomore at the State University of New York at Geneseo
was pronounced dead Sunday afternoon, The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
reported. Partamian was found at an off-campus house.
Police got a call Saturday night from a resident assistant at a university
dormitory about a wild party at the house. An officer responded but heard no
noise and saw no one outside and did not go to the door, Livingston County
Sheriff John York said.
State Police Major Mark Koss said others at the house said Partamian drank
heavily from about 1 p.m. Saturday into the evening. At 11 p.m., he was drunk
and other students took him to a bedroom to sleep it off.
Koss said Partamian, who came from New York City, also suffered from a blood
disorder that might have contributed to his death. Test results were not
expected for several weeks.
