Friends don't let friends drink and pass out on a porch mid-winter in Minnesota

Might lose some of her limbs now. Well, that sucks.

Minnesota college student, 19, may lose limbs after being left on porch for hours in the freezing cold 'following a night of tequila shots'

A 19-year-old college student is in critical condition after being found unconscious and suffering from extreme hypothermia on the porch of a Duluth, Minnesota, home.

Alyssa Jo Lommel was found by passersby Saturday morning after spending the night outside in subzero temperatures.

Duluth police say Lommel was at Regions Hospital in St. Paul Monday. Her condition was described as ’stable critical.’

Police say Lommel, a sophomore at the University of Minnesota Duluth, was found unconscious on the porch of her neighbor's house just after 9.30am Saturday.

She had been dropped off at her home in Duluth at about midnight after reportedly spending a night with friends doing tequila shots.

Lommel's parents, Jay and Teri Lommel of St. Cloud, told the St. Cloud Times their daughter suffered significant damage to her hands and feet and could lose one or more of them.

Temperatures in Duluth had dipped to -16 to -18, with a -36 wind chill Friday night into Saturday.

The student's mother, Teri Lommel, has described her daughter's condition as 'very much a wait-and-see thing.'

'We are hopeful that her body will heal itself,' she told SC Times.

The parents have set up a page on the site CaringBridge.org offering updates on Alyssa Jo's condition.

Mrs Lommel wrote Tuesday afternoon that doctors have been testing the circulation in her limbs in order to reduce swelling and prevent amputation.

The 19-year-old has already undergone surgery to restore blood flow to one of her arms, and she may require skin grafts to repair the damage to her hands and feet.

The Lommels also posted a note on the site thanking the couple who spotted their daughter lying on the porch.
‘We owe Alyssa’s life to you two. Our family cannot be grateful enough that you happened to see her,’ the missive read. ‘She could not have survived much longer out in the elements. You two will forever be in our hearts and prayers and we cannot thank you enough for what you did.’

On Friday, Miss Lommel, a sophomore majoring in psychology and sociology, posted a message on her Twitter account that said, 'tequila shots tonight.' It has since been removed.

According to Minneapolis Star Tribune citing a police report, the 19-year-old got home from work at around 5.30pm and had a bagel for dinner.

At around 10.30pm, she and a roommate went to a friend's house, where they played a drinking game with cards called 'ride the bus.'

The reports states that the underage girl lost several rounds and had to take shots.

Police reported finding a Twitter message on Lommel's account stating: 'Yum Yum 10th shot of tequila,' Grand Forks Herald reported.

Her roommate told police that Lommel had been taking medication for an unspecified illness every day.

At around 11pm, the sophmore was picked up by her friends, who drove her home and dropped her off outside her front door at 810 Woodland Avenue, but left without waiting for her to go inside.

Alyssa Jo's companions later told investigators that the 19-year-old was tipsy but not intoxicated to the point of falling down.She was said to have her keys and phone in her possession.

Two of Lommel's roommates returned home a few hours later without noticing that the girl was not home. Neither reported hearing knocks on the door.

Then at around 9.30am the following morning, Ellen Johnson and her boyfriend, Sam Salo, were driving down the street when she spotted a woman lying on a porch and called police, Duluth News Tribune reported.

Officers who responded to the scene at 808 Woodland Avenue discovered Alyssa Jo lying unconsious on her right side.

She was wearing a coat and *** boots, but no gloves, and her hands were three times their normal size, with skin split from palm to finger.

Officers followed Lommel's tracks in the snow around the house, showing that the college student made her way to the unheated garage, where she likely sought refuge from the cold for a while, fell down and then crawled back to the porch.

The house stood empty that night since its occupants, members of UMD women's basketball team, were out on the road.

The UMD released a statement urging students to be careful in extremely cold weather, dress in layers, travel in groups and let people know when planning to go out.

Party girl is obvious. Drinking 10 shots of tequila is stupid any way you look at it. She is lucky she didn't get alcohol poisoning. Sloots gon sloot.

Not sure what logic you are using here....
She'd be better off with alcohol poisoning than potentially losing her limbs and getting skin grafts you fukin goober

[rspb]

hands swollen 3x their size, and split down the middle? sounds gross as fuk

[bicephurls]

you guys are fuks if you think this was alright/completely her fault..

[NYG]

LOL @ alcohol being legal. fuk this gay earth.

[hewhodar3s]

She must have been legless








and if she wasn't then she soon will be

[BMXcaprisun]

Is it wrong that I don't feel bad at all for what she brought upon her sloot self?

I do actually know of a more tragic story that happened the same way. A close family friend we have lost her newly married husband because he got drunk and knocked out in the snow and was run over by a car and died. She was pregnant at the time and I know her daughter that few up never seeing her dad. This type of thing is somewhat common in areas like Russia and Siberia. It's so damn cold that they resort to drinking to cope but that brings it's own issues.

[jimbob007]

My heart bleeds for her.

[VinMichael]

touching her without her consent would have been considered rape

the snow/weather touched her without consent.

don't put yourself in potentially deadly situations

lol wat

she's losing a few limbs

I don't know about you, but I'd rather get alcohol poisoning over amputation of any limb(s)

[megadeth20]

Girl is stupid for drinking so much but it's so fukked up her friends left her outside..

[E_P_C]

how tanked do you have to be to sleep through -36 degree wind chill

[DimondLight]

you guys are fuks if you think this was alright/completely her fault..

Nobody poured the tequila down her throat.

[jasowhit]

Yolo!

[Kadisha]

how tanked do you have to be to sleep through -36 degree wind chill

Apparently 10 tequila shots worth for some one that I would say weighs around 110-120lbs.

Strong friends btw

[BDPfit]

Girl is stupid for drinking so much but it's so fukked up her friends left her outside..

But who actually waits outside to make sure you physically go into the house?

Most people would just drop off their friends and roll...

[SiNiStEr94]

Dunno why you guys are crying about her possibly losing limbs when she's lucky to even be alive.



But because she's a pretty white girl it's a tragedy that she's losing limbs...
