COLLEGE STATION, TX (KPRC/CNN) - He had just been accepted to a fraternity on the Texas A&M campus in August, but not long after, an 18-year-old was dead.
An autopsy report on the freshman's death has now been released, but it still leaves questions to be answered.
The autopsy shows 18-year-old Joe Little was seizing for nearly half an hour at his off-campus apartment before someone called 911.
His death on August 28 was ruled an accident.
Little's death was attributed to strokes, due to uncontrolled seizures, due to the toxic effects of Adderall.
The report shows that Little's blood tested positive for cannabinoids and amphetamine.
"So you get fast heart rate, you get high blood pressure, you can get delirium," said Dr. Spencer Greene, Baylor College of Medicine.
Greene is the director of medical toxicology and assistant professor of emergency medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. He is not involved in the investigation.
"You can get seizures. You wouldn't expect to see that after therapeutic use," Greene said. "But, if you were to abuse it by taking too much or using it the wrong way, such as snorting it, you could certainly get that."
The investigation shows Little was up all night for rush events before he started seizing. College Station police say they are not conducting a criminal investigation.
"The big question is who's responsible?" said Attorney Warren Diepraam.
Diepraam is not involved in the case but says charges or a civil suit could come next.
"Depending on what the investigators find, anybody could be held responsible. Including the fraternity itself," Diepraam said. "Texas law allows for organizations to be held criminally liable."
Texas A&M suspended the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. The move followed a school review that found a violation of rules tied to hazing and alcohol.
