Coroner: California college student died from alcohol

Authorities say a Southern California college student found dead in a home near University of California, Irvine died from alcohol poisoning.

The Orange County sheriff's Coroner Division said 18-year-old Noah Domingo died Jan. 12 from "accidental acute ethanol intoxication."

Authorities say tests show Domingo had a blood alcohol level of 0.331.

Irvine police are investigating to determine whether any crimes contributed to Domingo's death.

The first year-student was found dead in a bed at a home near the university and a campus fraternity was suspended pending investigation.

UCI spokesman Tom Vasich says the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity later voted to suspend the Irvine group's charter and the campus group was disbanded.
