BOULDER, Colo. – The Boulder Police Department is investigating after several college students were taken to the hospital overnight after overdosing.

Between 10 and 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7, officers were called to the hospital and the Kappa Sigma fraternity at 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue for reports of adult males who were sick/overdosing. The preliminary information indicates that at least six males were transported/treated at the hospital and by medical personnel on scene. Though one male’s prognosis was initially grave, he and the others are now in stable condition.

Further investigation revealed the individuals had consumed a possibly tainted batch of cocaine at a party. Alcohol was also involved. Detectives are also investigating whether this was related to pledging at the fraternity.

The Boulder Police Department would like to remind the community about the dangers of illegal drug and alcohol consumption.
