I thought they arrested someone in the same location a few weeks ago for trying to remove a police officers gun?

"Foul play is not suspected in connection with Maggio's death"

This is a quote from Chico PD. They someone who otherwise been healthy laying on the floor with a faint pulse and then dies and immediately determine that "foul play is not suspected". Who, what and why makes that determination? Someone has died and instantly a no foul play is pronounced. Does stating no foul play mean that there is no investigation needed or on going? Does it mean to simply wait 6 weeks until all potential clues have gone cold, then do a press release about the autopsy and toxicology report? What is Chico PD currently doing to find out who Gina was with during the prior 24 hours, what activities were they planning or had been to, could have someone put something in a unattended drink? Gina's family deserve answers beyond a autopsy and toxicology report. Chico PD try doing some real investigative work this time, it's never to late to start.

Why don't you go down to the police station and ASK THEM?

Posting here isn't going to do any good.

Seriously. They're the only ones who can give you those answers.

I'm assuming no foul play means they assume she consensually took the drugs which killed her. At least thats the word from people who were with her and knew her...

I have and I know their answers and disappointing is not even close to describe what they say. Over the last 14 months I have asked these questions and many more to Chico State, Chico City Council and Chico Pd. I even warned them about another student fatality. So since I have been asking questions about the prior 8 students who have died in 36 months why don't you go ask them some questions? Then that will make two citizens who have the courage to the elitist in Chico to their face one on one, rather than just bellow from this thread.

What exactly is your problem? Lacking a toxicology report, there is no evidence of anything. The cops are doing a fine job. People die every day from lots of things. Get over it.
My heart goes out to Gina's family.

You say "The cops are doing a fine job." What is it exactly they are doing that is a fine job, please explain? From my research every time a student dies (8) in Chico over the last three years police state "nothing suspicious here". No evidence. Really. In this case one deceased 21 year old student with the rest of her life that was ahead of her lying on the floor and there is no evidence. What more evidence do they need to start an investigation? How many kids need to die from the same cause before it becomes suspicious. The past poly drug deaths were never investigated by Chico PD, their position is no crime, self induced overdose, no investigation, wait for the tox report, so I'll get over it when Chico PD do their job. Someone knows what happened, what was the cause of Gina's death, without an investigation we will never know who that person or persons are. Who are the Police defending Gina or the people who may have provided what killed her?

What is your ax to grind with the cops? You're not about "methprevention," you're a ranting lunatic. Please save your crap until the tox report comes in. And even if this is OD, what makes you think "somebody knows"? You have zero idea, and zero business talking like you know what happened.

Your accusations against me sounds as though u are a ranting lunatic. The information I share is based on fact not crap, over the last three years seven other students have died and the Chico PD simply does there same old wait for six weeks B.S. Why do I think someone knows, what are the odds Gina spent the weekend alone and no one saw her or talked to her. If Gina went out on a Sat. night would she be all alone, not even. I never said I know what happened, I am just saying I know what didn't happen when the last seven students died, nothing. You do know what a hypothetical statement is, don't you?

The U is a thorough fare i.e. "bike path" between low income i.e. "drug dealing" housing and downtown business. The U students are a very lucrative source of income for the addicted. U students drug use does not immediately stop after graduating HS and upon entry into college.

PARENTS AND STUDENTS - THERE IS A SERIOUS DRUG ISSUE AMONG THE UNIVERSITY AND DRUG DEALERS LIVE JUST HOUSES AWAY. THE KIDS THAT WERE WITH GINA THE DAY BEFORE ALL HAVING A GOOD TIME AT THE LOVE FESTIVAL NO EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO GINA! DRUGS AND ALCOHOL ARE NOT JUST COLLEGE RELATED, BUT EVERYWHERE. PARENTS IF YOU HAVE KIDS ATTENDING ANY UNIVERSITY CALL AND TALK TO THEM. TALK TO YOUR KIDS AND EXPLAIN THE CONSQUENCES OF OVER DOSING ON ALCOHOL AND DRUGS OR JUST DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. MY GOODNESS SO MANY KIDS AND ADULTS HAVE DIED FROM ALCOHOL POSISIONING. THIS IS NOTHING NEW PEOPLE. KIDS AT CHICO PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR A**ES AND LOOK WHAT HAPPEN TO GINA IF YOU THINK GETTING HIGH IS FUN!

When is the Chico Police report regarding their thorough ongoing investigation as to why a otherwise healthy 21 year old college co-ed Gina Marie Maggio was found dead going to be released?

It will be wonderful I am sure for Gina's family to know that no stone will be left unturned by the Chico Police Department in discovering every bit of evidence as to what happened.

Keep up the great work Chico Police Department, everyone is looking forward to your detailed investigation report.

I agree with parentcollege student...somehow this should be done.

Also,I with you CONCERNED.....each and every college student needs to get their heads out of their ***es and realize the severe consequences to
partying with excessive alcohol and drugs. Wake up kids....life should be a high NOT alcohol and
NOT drugs.

So, if it's generally accepted that she accepted the drugs on her own will, didn't she accept the risk and responsibility associated with that choice? If so, why should we as taxpayers pay our incredibly under-staffed police force to "investigate" the death of someone who KNEW they could potentially die from doing what they did?

In the case of Gina Maggio there has not been a determination of what she died from to date. The Police when nothing suspicious was found at the scene in their eyes it is presumed a accidental death until the autopsy comes back with evidence that may indicate otherwise. With no investigation it is easy to assume it's accidental, leaves time for a coffee break too.

The answer to your question though assuming Gina did die from illicit drugs how does anyone know without a doubt that Gina took them willing or was slipped them through a drink. Only a quality police investigation could determine the answer to that question. Even if she did take them willingly shouldn't those selling deadly illicit drugs be accountable, or is it OK for scum to be ignored and continue selling, addicting and killing other adolescents and young adults.

In either case I know of few parents that would not want to know the truth and I know of even less individuals who do not want drug selling pukes put away for life.

Your analogy also falls short if you consider that everyone knows the danger of possibly being killed by a drunk driver. So from what you are saying the drunk driver should not be prosecuted because the person who was killed got behind the wheel knowing they could be killed.

As far as the Chico Police go if they were not so controlled and directed by being under the thumb of the University to focus on burning couches and promoting responsible drinking they could see the accumulation of dead students piling up from poly drug deaths and maybe investigate.

If it's suspected that Gina was "slipped" the drugs then yes, there should be an investigation. BUT, if it's widely accepted that she took them on her own, I don't see the point in wasting taxpayer money on a self-induced death.

And I think your take on my analogy was a bit skewed. If our hypothetical driver CHOSE to get in a car with a drunk driver, or chose to drive drunk, then the comparison would be somehow analagous. I think you saw my point but had to argue it anyway.
