Family of Dead FAMU Student Plans to Sue the School

The family of a Florida A&M University drum major who died of suspected hazing will sue the school, an attorney said Friday.

The family of Robert Champion, 26, is spending the holiday weekend planning Champion’s funeral, attorney Christopher Chestnut told The Associated Press.

The head of the band has already been fired, and the university is now investigating how the student died. Other parent’s have complained in the past, but the school allegedly did nothing to stop hazing in the band.
