Somehow, students just don't look good in orange jumpsuits.
Before he died, Patrick Kycia was so drunk that he appeared to be asleep while sitting down with his head against a wall, according to a witness who saw the 19-year-old at a fraternity party.
One partygoer looked at Kycia and said "What's up?" and Kycia just stared back, unresponsive, according to the criminal complaint.
On Monday, seven men were charged with felonies for selling liquor to Kycia, a Minnesota State, Moorhead, student who disappeared after he was seen at the Phi Sigma Kappa house. His body was found five days later, with a blood-alcohol content of .174, more than twice the legal limit for drinking and driving in Minnesota, said Clay County Attorney Lisa Borgen.
The criminal complaint said witnesses saw Kycia take swigs of whiskey and drink beer that he did not bring to the party. Witnesses said fraternity members were selling beer for $1 a can. Friends of Kycia said they paid $20 for 12 beers and a half-full bottle of whiskey, the complaint said.
