Pennsylvania Attorney General Investigates 2024 Death of Bucknell Football Player
The Pennsylvania attorney general's office is conducting an investigation into the 2024 death of Calvin 'CJ' Dickey Jr., a freshman football player at Bucknell University. Dickey collapsed during his first workout with the team and died two days later. His parents have confirmed the investigation and expressed gratitude for the attorney general's efforts. The investigation follows a lawsuit filed by Dickey's parents against Bucknell, alleging negligence and wrongful death, claiming their son's death was preventable. The lawsuit accuses the university of aggravated hazing and failing to provide adequate medical supervision during the workout. Bucknell has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that the workout was conducted within the scope of ordinary training activities and that reasonable measures were taken to accommodate Dickey's sickle cell trait status.
