Joe Philbin's son:
Joe Philbin's son, Michael Philbin, died in an accidental drowning in a Wisconsin river on January 8, 2012.
Michael, 21, went out with friends at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, but after that night, he vanished. The next day, his body was found in the river.
The toxicology report showed that Michael had a blood alcohol level of 0.176, more than double the legal limit for driving, along with traces of marijuana in his system.
Philbin released a statement after his son's death, "The loss of a child and sibling is absolutely heartbreaking to a family. Ours is no different. We hope that the results of the recent toxicology report serves as a reminder to us all that the mixture of alcohol and marijuana can be extremely dangerous; potentially even fatal," as per Fox News.
"The message is clear: practice moderation in the consumption of alcohol, avoid illegal drugs, and if someone appears to be in need of assistance, help them so that this situation doesn't occur again," he added.
