It was a night of drinking gone horribly wrong. Alyssa Jo Lommel, a 19-year-old student at the University of Minnesota Duluth, was found passed out in the freezing cold outside her home on Saturday after a night Tequila shots with friends.
Temperatures fell to 17 below zero that night. And Lommel suffered severe hypothermia.
The Blaze reports:
Police say Lommel, 19, had been out drinking with friends Friday night. She had a drink after work and later traveled to a friends house and played a drinking game called “ride the bus.” Lommel reportedly lost several rounds, resulting in several shots of liquor.
In a Twitter update on Friday, the student wrote, “tequila shots tonight.” It has since been deleted. Police also say they found a tweet that said, “Yum Yum 10th shot of tequila,” according to the Grand Forks Herald.
Sometime around 11 p.m., Lommel made plans to go home while the group went to another party, the report states. She got a ride home with friends and was dropped off in front of her house. Her friends claim she was buzzed but not intoxicated…
A woman riding down the street with her boyfriend about 9:30 a.m. Saturday happened to spot Lommel. She called police, telling them she’d found an unconscious young woman outside on a porch.
Authorities arrived to find Lommel lying on her right side, “extremely cold and hypothermic,” the police report said. The house was empty, its occupants out of town…
In an interview, Lommel’s parents said she may lose one or more limbs, including a hand or foot, but is expected to survive.
