Funeral Services Set for FAMU Drum Major

(CNN) -- Funeral services will be held Wednesday for Robert Champion, a
Florida university drum major who died this month in what officials have
called a hazing-related incident.
.
The services at a church in Lithonia, Georgia, come two days after
Champion's family said they will sue the school "to get answers."
.
"We are concerned about the culture of cover-up, that hazing has been
covered up at the Band FAMU for generations," the family's lawyer Chris
Chestnut said Monday, referring to the marching band at Florida
Agriculture and Mechanical University.
.
The medical examiner has not issued a report on the cause of death of the
26-year-old student. But, Chestnut said, the facts that have emerged to
date "point to the fact that hazing was a cause of Robert Champion's
death, and it was under FAMU's watch."

Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said last week that hazing was
involved but added that authorities were trying to determine an official
cause of death. Under Florida law, any death that occurs as the result of
hazing is a third-degree felony.
.
After the death, FAMU President James H. Ammons suspended all band
performances and said he will convene a task force "to determine if there
are any unauthorized and questionable activities associated with the
culture of the Marching 100."
.
In addition, FAMU moved to fire longtime band director Julian E. White.
White had led the 420-member band since 1998 and has hired an attorney to
fight for his job.
