(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, August 18, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA - The town of Carmel, Indiana, lost a young man to alcohol poisoning on August 8, 2012. Reports by RTV6 stated that the teenager, who was identified as 18-year-old Brett Flinbloom, was found at a Carmel home by his friends unresponsive and without a pulse.
Police was called to the scene and the young man was taken from 10905 Lakeshore Drive East to Heart Hospital. The incident took place at Midnight on Friday and the victim was pronounced dead on Sunday at the hospital.
A coroner performed an autopsy on Wednesday and reported the cause of death as Alcohol poisoning.
According to the police, they were called to the house where the incident took place because of a report of an intoxicated person lying breathless on the ground. Police have stated that Flinbloom was reported to have no pulse and had stopped breathing by the two other teenagers present in the house.
The 18 and 19-year-old who were present at the house were tight lipped when they were questioned by the officers at the scene.
911 operators stated that someone called the emergency line and stated that,
“We have a friend here. We think that he's had too much to drink and we cannot wake him up right now."
The operator questioned the caller further about what the victim had been drinking and the person replied that,
"I think just vodka. But honestly, we're not drinking here. He came here already really intoxicated, so I'm not sure what he had to drink."
However, when the police arrived at the house, the two teenagers were not very forthcoming about the situation.
Carmel police Lt. Jeff Horner commented that,
"I don't know what was going through their heads at the time, I can only speculate, but I know that officers arrived and they were getting very limited information. Not a whole lot of information was given to them about what occurred and why he was in the condition that he was in."
A neighbor who was interviewed by RTV6 said that when the police officers arrived at the Carmel home, only three of the teenagers were present, even though a substantial number of other people were at the house earlier.
Finbloom, who was a graduate of Carmel High School and had been enrolled at the University of Oklahoma, had a previous brush with the law in January this year. The incident took place at another address and court documents show that he was charged as a minor in possession of alcohol and a false government-issued ID. A settlement was reached at the time.
