Alcohol poisoning suspected in death of Green River College student, 17, from China

Auburn police are investigating the death last week of a 17-year-old Green River College student from China, and evidence suggests he died of alcohol poisoning, Auburn police say.

The student, Yang Chen, died Feb. 19 at a house near the college that he was renting with several other Chinese students, said police Cmdr. Steve Stocker.

The King County Medical Examiner’s Office is conducting an investigation and expects to have results in six to 10 weeks.

Stocker said there was evidence that the students were drinking heavily at the time of Chen’s death.
