NEW YORK (PIX11) – How did a Baruch College freshman pledging a fraternity end up dead in the Poconos? That’s just one of the questions investigators want answered following what’s being described as a hazing ritual gone bad.

19-year-old Chun Michael Deng, a freshman at Baruch College died Monday after suffering a head injury during what is being described as a hazing ritual at a home in the Poconos. Prosecutors say Deng was pronounced dead the day after he was taken to the hospital by several members of the Pi Delta Psi fraternity.

Detectives say the injuries happened in the yard of a Candlewood Drive home in Tunkhannock Township during a game of “Glass Ceiling,” where Deng was blindfolded, with a heavy and tackled by members of the fraternity. Investigators say fraternity members did not take Deng to the hospital until after he was unresponsive.

Pi Delta Psi is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary and is described as an Asian-American cultural organization. The weekend get together was part of a fraternity rush that took place in a rented home.

Baruch College issued a statement expressing sadness and saying they had no knowledge of the off campus event. “Pi Delta Psi did not request permission nor were they approved by Baruch on this matter.” The statement goes on to say “Michael’s death is a deeply painful reminder that no individual should ever be put into a position where his or her personal safety is in jeopardy,”

Back on campus students say they are shocked by Deng’s death. Sarah Kim a senior at the school told PIX 11 ” I really didn’t know it was that severe. I thought hazing was just to get closer to people at school. To get to know each other.” While senior John Cha told PIX, ” You’d expect that more from a bigger college campus where hazing is more, probably more intense over there than at a CUNY school. So for me that was kind of a shocker.”

In the meantime, investigators are still trying to connect the dots to figure out exactly how Deng suffered the fatal injuries and who was involved. So far no charges have been filed.
