Centre County District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller said during a news conference on Monday that investigators recovered new video from the basement of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity house.
The D.A. said that video was deleted while police were at the house, but was recovered by the FBI.
That footage is in addition to security camera video that had been previously recovered by authorities from the extensive surveillance system in the house.
The 19-year-old Piazza, from Lebanon, New Jersey, was fatally injured back in February. Piazza died of a fractured skull and other injuries two days after drinking a dangerous amount of alcohol at a pledge ceremony and falling down basement stairs.
Investigators say the video shows Piazza does not obtain his own alcohol at any point. In fact, authorities say, every drink consumed was provided to him by a fraternity brother.
Tim Piazza was furnished with at least 18 drinks in 1 hour and 22 minutes, Parks Miller's office said.
The fraternity has since been closed.
