Four people have been charged as part of an investigation into a hazing death at Cornell University.

George Desdunes was found unresponsive on a couch inside his Sigma Alpha Epilson fraternity house, and was later pronounced dead.

Max Haskin, Ben Mann and Edward Williams, all 19-years-old, are charged with hazing, unlawfully dealing with a child and criminal nuisance. A youthful offender who was not named is also facing charges.

They were arraigned Thursday. The defendants were pledging to join the fraternity.
