The Office of the New York State Attorney General has confirmed that a Notice of Intent to bring suit against the State of New York, State University of New York and SUNY Geneseo has been filed by the administrator for the Estate of Arman Partamian. No local government entities or police agencies are named.

Partamian, of Flushing Long Island, died sometime between the late evening of Feb. 28 and early morning of March 1 after a drinking binge which was allegedly part of the PIGS hazing ritual. The PIGS are an unofficial club, not recognized by SUNY Geneseo’s fraternities and sororities organization.

Partamian was discovered dead in an upstairs bedroom at the PIGS party headquarters at 4359 Lower Court Street in Geneseo.
In the wake of Partamian’s death, fellow students Alex Stucki, 20, and Daniel Wech, 21, were charged along with Devin McClain, 21, with hazing, unlawfully dealing with a child and criminally negligent homicide.
