An off-campus fraternity party usually caused unwanted events just like what happened to Antonio Tsialas.
The parents of the eighteen-year-old student at Cornell University are demanding answers after their son died following the said event.
Based on the status on the school's website, Cornell's vice president for student and campus life, Ryan Lombardi said that Tsialas' corpse was found last evening of October 26, 2019.
The body was recovered inside the Fall Creek Gorge. There's still an ongoing investigation of the possible situations of the student's death. No foul play is suspected as of the moment. Fall Creek Gorge is a nature preserved valley in Ithaca, New York.
According to what the victim's visiting parents, told in Good Morning America, Tsialas had a nice dinner with them before he vanished. After the dinner, he attended the fraternity party but never came back to his dorm.
His father, John Tsialas told that there are people that actually know what happened and nothing is being said.
The parents now are offering $10,000 to anyone present at the fraternity party that can provide them useful information. His mother believed that there is a need to take a closer look at these organizations. The student's mother, Flavia Tomasello said that all they want is the truth and that they are not trying to blame anyone.
The family's attorney, David Bianchi told Good in GMA that his clients are totally devastated by the incident and they want answers.

The President of Cornell University, Martha E. Pollack said that there is no definite answer available about the cause of Antonio Tsialas' death.

Unregistered fraternity events like this follow a pattern of misconduct using a Greek-letter system. Unfortunately, Tsialas was there.
Bianchi believed that the said fraternity, Pi Kappa Psi, has a huge connection with what actually happened.
The main leaders of this fraternity are known to serve large quantities of alcohol. But the Pi Kappa Psi Fraternity stated that they are sincerely giving their deepest condolences to the Tsiala family. Their members are working with the police with regard to the incident.
Apart from the most recent death of Tsialas related to fraternity. About a week ago, Samuel Martinez was also found dead at a fraternity house near Washington State University where he was a student.
The responsible authorities are continuously investigating the incident. The University police already issued subpoenas and everybody is hoping for the truth. The parents of the victim are willing to do everything just to know what really happened to their son.
