While not an LODD, we feel this is worth passing on as so many young people are FF’s, EMT’s etc. A FF/EMT who was also a college student, died near an upstate New York campus Sunday had too much to drink at a fraternity initiation ritual. Arman Partamian, 19, of Flushing, a member of the Geneseo FD, was found unresponsive about 1100 hours yesterday inside a non-sanctioned fraternity known as the Pig House near the SUNY Geneseo campus. His own FD responded to the run and attempted-unsuccessfully, to save his life.
Partamian, a sophomore who majored in biology, was at a fraternity party Saturday night and participated in a ritual that called for heavy alcohol consumption. The Pig House is known for booze-filled parties on the weekends….state troopers confirmed that alcohol is being eyed in the death, which appears to have been accidental, and investigators were consulting with the Livingston County D.A.
Partamian graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School in 2007. He was a volunteer emergency medical technician at the Geneseo FD, whose members responded to the scene after the student’s body was found. Geneseo is located about 45 miles south of Rochester in the Finger Lakes region.
