MILWAUKEE — A Minnesota State University student who fell from a Milwaukee parking ramp last month after a night of drinking remains in a coma, and heartbroken family members and friends are still trying to piece together what happened.

Giovanni Quiroz, 24, of North Mankato, Minnesota, was barhopping with friends Aug. 16 when he became separated from them. He didn’t have his phone so his friends waited for 30 minutes and then went to another friend’s place, figuring Quiroz would join them.

Instead they learned he’d fallen off a parking ramp about two blocks away, the Mankato Free Press reported.
