Last Wednesday, 22-year-old Andrew Stanham was found dead in the shower at his home in Wagga Wagga.
While his cause of death is yet to be confirmed, Andrew’s family told The Daily Telegraph they believe he had a seizure and fell while in the shower. The Charles Sturt University student had a history of seizures, and had previously taken medication for epilepsy.
Andrew’s father, Mark, told The Daily Telegraph he had no doubt stress was a contributing factor in his young son’s death.
But what kind of unusual stress could a 22-year-old university student be under?
On a Thursday night just over one month before Andrew’s death, he attended a party at the Black Swan Hotel in Wagga Wagga. The ‘politically incorrect’ themed party was meant to celebrate the beginning (and in turn, foreseeable end) of university exams. The invite, posted to Facebook, encouraged attendees to “grab a kit that would legally get you in sh*t”.

The agricultural students at that uni have particularly bad rituals that first years have to do
You've got to be kidding me...He was 22 not 12.
How can you get to age 22 without realising that dressing up either in black face or as a KKK member in public is not just the wrong thing to do but is going have some serious consequences.
