This article was written by Lauren del Valle, writer and CNN staff. This article was written on May 16th, 2017, making the information current and accurate. Being written by Lauren del Valle, we get a better view of the topic with is specialized background of the subject matter. In this article we hear about the death of a freshman who was knocked unconscious during a fraternity ritual. Due to the fact that none of the 30 people who witnessed his injury called for help or contacted an ambulance or police he died. He was later taken to the hospital where he was put and life support and latter taken off. The college informs viewers that they did not know this was going on and do not support this behavior in any way. I think it is sad that out of the 30 people that saw him get hurt and witnessed what happened, not a single person made an attempt to help hime by calling an ambulance. The fact that he could still be alive right now if someone had simple made a phone call makes this situation worse. I don't know why the people involved thought it was okay to just leave him there when he was clearly no okay.
