Police probe death of J&W student at Vt. college

POULTNEY, Vt. -- Vermont State Police are trying to determine the cause of death of a Johnson & Wales University freshman who died while visiting Green Mountain College.

Andrew Finiella of Cross River, N.Y., was found unconscious in a dormitory by a friend last Friday. Paramedics were unable to save him.

Finiella apparently had been drinking, but police are not sure if alcohol consumption led to his death.

Finiella was pursuing an associate’s degree in business administration at Johnson & Wales, public relations director Miriam Weinstein said this morning.

Johnson & Wales has provided counseling for students, faculty and anyone affected by Finiella’s death, Weinstein said. She said privacy regulations prevented her from saying more about the student.

“The university is deeply sorry about this loss, and we’ve reached out to the family,” Weinstein said.
