Coronor: Alcohol 'definitely' played role in WSU student's death
June 5, 2009, 2:33 pm
The 21-year-old Robertson fell to his death off a 40-foot cliff about one-quarter mile east of Bishop Boulevard in Pullman, according to police.
Martin declined to say what Robertson’s blood-alcohol level was at the time of his death. He plans to provide that information when he files his official report next week.
“Alcohol definitely played a role,” Martin said. “It’s sad, but unfortunately we see this all the time.”
Robertson’s body was found at about 5:30 a.m. May 2 by a motorist passing along the Pullman-Moscow Highway just east of campus.
Witnesses told police Robertson was last seen at a party Friday night at a nearby apartment complex.
Robertson came to WSU from Bend, Ore. He was majoring in viticulture/enology.
