2 Former LSU Students Sentenced In Pledge’s Death
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Two former LSU students who pleaded no contest last year to misdemeanor hazing in the 2017 alcohol-related death of fraternity pledge Max Gruver have been sentenced.
State District Judge Beau Higginbotham on Friday sentenced 22-year-old Sean-Paul Gott, of Lafayette, and 20-year-old Ryan Matthew Isto, of Butte, Montana, each to 30 days in jail.
The Advocate reports each was immediately taken into custody.
Isto was the former roommate of 21-year-old Matthew Naquin, of Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas, who was convicted last week of negligent homicide in the 18-year-old Gruver's death. Gruver, of Roswell, Georgia, had been at LSU a month when he died of alcohol poisoning after a Phi Delta Theta hazing ritual.
