An autopsy conducted of Florida A&M University student and drum major who died last month showed he had extensive bleeding in his back and right shoulder. Robert Champion’s death revealed a hazing culture at the school where some students have been dismissed and now the call for the president’s fire.
The full autopsy released Wednesday shows Robert Champion suffered heavy bleeding in the tissue under his skin, and over his muscle in his back, upper chest and upper arm. He also had bruising on his chest, abrasions below his waist, vomit in his lungs, crushed fat tissue and a temperature of 102 degrees at the time attempts were made to revive him.
The state examiner’s office released a synopsis which revealed Champion’s death was a homicide. The autopsy found internal bleeding caused from blunt force trauma led to shock.
Authorities are investigating his death.
