Texas A&M Student's Death: Lawsuit Alleges Negligence
7 Jan
Summary
- Lawsuit claims student was illegally overserved alcohol before fatal fall.
- Family disputes police findings, alleging mishandled investigation.
- Suit seeks over $1 million in damages for alleged negligence.
A $1 million lawsuit has been filed by the family of Brianna Marie Aguilera, a Texas A&M student who tragically fell 17 stories on November 29, 2025. The suit alleges Aguilera, who was underage, was illegally overserved alcohol at a football game tailgate hours before her death. Her parents claim negligence by the Austin Blacks Rugby Club and the UT Latin Economics and Business Association contributed to the incident.
The family is also contesting the Austin Police Department's conclusion that Aguilera died by suicide. They argue that crucial evidence was mishandled and that police prematurely determined the cause of death. Discrepancies in timelines and witness accounts have been highlighted, with the lawsuit asserting that a resident heard screaming minutes before the fall, yet claims to have never been interviewed by police.
The civil suit, filed in Travis County, aims to uncover further evidence through subpoena power, which was unavailable to the family's legal team previously. The family's attorney disputes police claims about a "deleted suicide note" and challenges the provided timelines. Pending autopsy and toxicology results are also noted as the investigation continues.
