Deng\u2019s objective was to reach a fraternity member who was calling out to him, while other members of the fraternity pushed Deng away from the objective.\u00a0 During this endeavor, Deng fell backwards and struck his head on the ground. Deng was knocked unconscious in the fall.<\/p>\n<p>After he was knocked unconscious, the brothers allegedly carried him indoors near a fireplace. It is believed that they then began to research his symptoms and the location of the nearest hospital emergency room.\u00a0 According to police investigators, however, at least two hours had passed before Deng received any kind of medical assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the members of the fraternity drove Deng to an emergency room, where physicians determined that\u00a0he had\u00a0suffered multiple traumatic brain injuries in the trip and fall accident. Deng was shortly thereafter pronounced brain dead as a result of his skull injuries.\u00a0 An autopsy of Deng\u2019s body revealed no traces of drugs or alcohol.<\/p>\n<p>The fraternity is now conducting its own investigation.
