WSU student’s dorm death ruled suicide as family says hazing left him ‘at his breaking point’
Fox News
A Washington State University freshman who was discovered dead in his dorm was found to have taken his own life after he was allegedly at "his breaking point due to hazing."
The Whitman County Coroner ruled that 19-year-old Luke Morgan Tyler died from "acute intoxication due to the combined effects of alcohol and bupropion." Bupropion is a medication commonly used to treat depression. "We are continuing to work with the authorities to determine how in a short 4 months during his first semester at WSU, Luke went from a positive, compassionate, and kind young man to having a depression so deep that caused him to take his own life."

Tyler, a WSU freshman who grew up in Redman, was found dead in one of the Pullman campus residence halls on Jan. 22, when police responded to a 911 call, a spokesperson for the college previously said.
