A University of Colorado student who died after a night of partying during the first week of school in August had drugs and alcohol in his system, the Boulder County Coroner’s Office said Thursday.
A toxicology test found the narcotic painkiller oxymorphone, and alcohol poisoning caused the death of 21-year-old Michael Alexander Hoffman of Berkeley Heights, N.J.
Hoffman was found unconscious Aug. 26 on the porch of a home at 1429 10th St., two blocks west of the CU campus. The residents there did not know him, the Daily Camera reported at the time.
He never regained consciousness and died at a hospital four days later. A police report said messages on Hoffman’s cellphone indicated he had been drinking heavily the night he died.
