University officials confirmed today that Penn State freshman Joseph Dado did not smoke marijuana in the hours leading up to his death.

Court documents stated that Dado, 18, smoked marijuana at Phi Gamma Delta (Fiji) fraternity before his death. However, Centre County Coroner Scott Sayers has maintained that two toxicology reports found no traces of marijuana or any other illegal drug in Dado's system.

Dado's blood alcohol content at the time of his death was .169 percent, according to the toxicology report. Penn State Police and the State College Police Department released a statement today to clarify the discrepancy between the toxicology report and court documents that cited interviews conducted during the investigation.

Dado, 18, was found dead at the bottom of an exterior stairwell near the Steidle Building Sept. 21.

Two students, John Townsend and Jennifer E. Clifford, and two fraternities, Fiji and Alpha Tau Omega, face furnishing alcohol charges in connection with the incident, according to court documents.
