5 charged in California student's alcohol poisoning death

 Authorities say five Southern California college students have been charged in the alcohol-poisoning death of their 18-year-old fraternity brother.

Noah Domingo was found dead in January at the off-campus Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house for the University of California, Irvine, with a blood alcohol level of 0.331 after a party.

The Orange County District Attorney's Office says in a statement the five fraternity brothers are all charged with misdemeanors. One faces up to 18 months in jail if convicted, while the others face up to 6 months.

The statement says the defendants didn’t haze Domingo to drink until his death.

The fraternity's Irvine chapter was disbanded.
