MAN DIES AT AUSTIN RAVE PARTY

AUSTIN A weekend rave party that drew thousands of people from around the
country ended with one man dead and Travis County officials puzzling over
how to better control a wild nightlife scene.

Saturday night, thousands of young adults filled a makeshift dance hall in
southeast Travis County and started a dance party lasting until sunrise.

They came from as far away as Oklahoma, Louisiana and New York, the Austin
American-Statesman reported.

When the music ended, Jason Scheiring, 22, a former Fort Hood soldier
living in Corpus Christi, was dead, apparently of an overdose, officials said.

Scheiring began having seizures during the party and was taken to
Brackenridge Hospital, where he died just before 4 a.m., said Roger Wade, a
spokesman for the Travis County Sheriff's Department.
