BERKELEY — A 19-year-old UC Berkeley student who died Nov. 17, three days after he was hospitalized in an apparent near-drowning at a fraternity house pool, was identified by the coroner’s bureau Friday.

An exact cause of death has not yet been released for George Mauricio Salinas, of San Diego.

Police have said foul play was not a factor, but they added they were asking the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office to review the case to determine if charges are warranted, including possibly against the safety coordinator of the fraternity for furnishing alcohol to those under 21.
