Minn. college tragedies: drunk, frozen and underage

BEMIDJI, Minn. – Pink flowers adorn a tree by the wooded trail where a drunk college student wandered in her final moments, just before she slipped in a creek and froze on a bed of snow.

They honor 20-year-old Sandra Lommen, a Bemidji State University freshman whose manner of death, while rare, is all too familiar in the Upper Midwest. College students in recent years have been found frozen in fields, under a bridge, in an alley and on a porch.
