Lawsuit against KU fraternity over student’s drinking-related death is dismissed

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — A Douglas County judge has officially dismissed a lawsuit filed when a University of Kansas student died after a night of drinking.

The dismissal was a formality, after parties in the 2009 lawsuit against Sigma Alpha Epsilon reached a confidential settlement last month.

The Lawrence Journal-World reported Monday that District Judge Michael Malone dismissed Jay Wren’s lawsuit against the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter, its national association, the local housing corporation and other individuals.

Wren’s 19-year-old son, Jason, a freshman from Littleton, Colo., was found dead in March 2009 at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter house.
