Criminal charges are coming in the death of a New York City college student who was forced to run a gauntlet during a fraternity ritual, a northeastern Pennsylvania prosecutor said Thursday.
Monroe County District Attorney David Christine said he will not decide on which charges to file, or against whom, until a police inquiry into the death of Chun ‘‘Michael’’ Deng, 19, is completed.
The Baruch College freshman died Monday, a day after friends brought him to the hospital in critical condition with major brain trauma. It was unclear how much time had passed before he got help.
