I recently went by the ole bridge that supports a cross in his memory. Does anyone know where the run started with his fraternity brothers? Did it start on campus?

I would say since many years have gone by and the truth about what happened has never been validated- it is a mystery.

True. I was just wondering what part the OP found a mystery. The part that gets me is why it took so long to report. Some on here already are calling it murder and that's their mystery theory.

To your point about people on here having theories. Don’t forget some Tigernetters are experts in everything. Offensive schemes, Basketball set plays, Women’s Lacrosse recruiting, and police investigations.

Yes, a very sad story. His family are still seeking the truth. Very evil group of boys - none were his brothers. Those involved and those that continue to hide the truth shall be haunted for eternity.

Were they evil or just frat DB’s who made a bad mistake and had to stay silent to stay out of jail? I am sure the incident still weighs heavy on their conscious.

Very sad. I was in school when it happened and it always seemed fishy. Someone or several someones know more than they've told. I think you're right in saying that it was probably a bad mistake and guys were told to be quiet vs. a bunch of nefarious actors with bad intentions.

do you have that he was told to get up on a narrow ledge, he SLIPPED, and dangled upside down for a few seconds before falling to his death ?
None. Not a single thing.

Put the conspiracy pipe down bro. Yeah he could have been told to get up there and fell. That is far more likely than your conspiracy theory. You're dumber than a rock.

or justification for withholding the truth to protect those who may be responsible in some way for his death. It seems obvious that we don't have the full story, and that's wrong.

Responsibility for negligence.
We don’t know what happened, but if his fraternity brothers required him to take actions that clearly led to his death, then this is negligence at minimum and potentially more serious charges.
So, yes, it is possible there are a couple guys out there that have responsibility and have ignored it.
If some of his fraternity brothers are guilty, they themselves know it, and will be tortured every day for the rest of their life.

Doubt they were or are evil. Just drunk frat dudes, very immature as most are at that age, and got wasted and someone died. Pledge hazing that went wrong it sounds like. What do people think is being hidden?

He was sober. So that wasn't a factor. He fell after being told to walk on a narrow part of the bridge. He ended up hitting his head and died. Hazing and accidental death due to it is what it sounds like.

My mom would say: if somebody told you to jump out of an airplane would you do it? I do not support hazing but at some point, it is up to the person to say no and walk away. Blaming someone else for your decision is the easy button

He slipped and thought he could do itbafter being pressured. He hung upside down for a short bit and then fell on his head. Sounds like he wasn't over deep water.

Still, fraternities should not engage in hazing that is potentially and obviously that dangerous. If they do, they would certainly be at least partially liable and responsible.

The two guys who constantly cry about a hint of a possibility of racism on here just hand wave a kid dying as immature frat kids.
They just didn’t talk because they didn’t want to go to jail? Do you realize how dumb that sounds?

yes, they started on campus. used to see them in the gym and on the fields around Fike in the early morning
odd thing is they always seemed like they were having fun - never saw any yelling, anger, or coercion
probably a different story out of public view?

I went to HS with Tucker. He was a year younger than me. He actually sat next to me at my fraternity's final dinner (he did not get in so chose another fraternity).
I knew a lot of kids in his Pledge Class and I knew all of the guys who were leading the run. The guys actually played us in intramurals and were not well received.
One of my best friends was a SigEp in the same pledge class as the dudes who led the run... I don't even think he knows the truth.
It's an extremely sad event and I believe it was a total accident... I just wish we had more clarity on the situation.

I know friends and family of Tucker. Yes, it probably was an accident but they just want answers as to what happened to him, but those who were there deny them that closure and peace. The “brothers” were mostly out of state students, one particularly had a father in politics in one of the northeastern states, (maybe Rhode Island) so they had money and connections to cover their #####.
The fact that people on this thread are normalizing it, just saying it was dumb kids hazing and doing stupid things is truly disgusting. I’m sure they may feel differently if it had been their child who’d been left for dead under a bridge.

Yeah. My heart brakes for the kid and the family.
I know there was some discussion as to whether the university had given approval for the “run.” Just weird that Clemson officials won’t speak on it. Maybe there is nothing more to be said. I do know that there is a documentary in the works.

Exactly, why would or should the university know when a group goes for a run? It obviously wasn’t a university sanctioned event! Just a group of guys on a morning run. Very sad that the tragedy happened to the Tucker kid, but I don’t in any way think it was malicious. I remember playing tackle football games on the field across from Fike when I was a student. We had a lot of fun, and we didn’t report the gathering to the university. I see that as a similar example, as far as the university having knowledge, and those games were entirely on campus. And no, I am not comparing the end results!
It is something that everyone hopes never will happen again! College kids make bad choices everyday.

University officials claim it was off campus and a “Greek Event”, so Clemson will distance itself as much as possible and claim ignorance to everything, also wanting to cover their butt.

Okay..They started running from campus. The accident happened off campus. What a stretch to call it an on campus event. Anytime someone starts in campus it's a campus event? I would run off of campus all of the time. It's such a stretch to go after the university in any way.

What if the run finished on-campus?
For instance, when I run the 10K every year at my local YMCA. The event goes outside the YMCA property, but comes back to the YMCA. If someone has a heart attack during the event the YMCA is still liable for having staff help that person (first aid, CPR, etc.), aren't they? It's still a YMCA event.
There was discussion in the original wrongful death and duty of reasonable care suit that a University employee was made aware of the upcoming run. I can't seem to find them on the web anymore.

Why does it matter if it was on campus or not? That doesn’t make it the university’s fault. Just like it’s not the city’s fault that it happened off campus.
Junk like this is what is wrong with the world. Trying to blame someone or something that had no part in the incident.

Was it off campus? I've always considered that area part of campus. I thought there were gates marking campus that is beyond the Snow Family Outdoor Fitness Center / Y-Beach area towards Seneca. Maybe technically because it is a state highway / bridge it's not part of campus but in my mind campus extends past where this happened.

Well Lester I’m sure the family would like to know HOW the accident happened. That’s what they want from the people that were there and saw what happened. If it was a friend of yours would you not want to know how it happened or would you just say well ole so and so was found dead
Oh well. Just an accident

The report is that he didn't get the McDs some frat dude wanted him to get in the morning. While on the run he was told to run on some narrow part of the bridge. He slipped and tried to hold on. He was supposedly dangling upside down for a few secs and then fell on his head. What isn't known it seems is what happened after he fell. That's from the basic stories. Toxicology reports show he was sober.

We know what happened after he fell, his “brothers” didn’t report him “missing” for 7 hours.

Exactly. That's awful. That's the part that is terrible. Did they not know? Did they not tell because they knew he was dead? Law enforcement obviously assumed in the end that they didn't know he was dead and had no idea and that's why it took so long.
Either way he was dead though and only thing that matters to an extent is how it was handled after his death. I would like to hear more from law enforcement.

Hipps was the pledge-class president. I would think in our culture he would be the person leading the run. It would seem odd for him to be so far in the rear that no-one knew of his whereabouts during the run. If he was in the rear, why would he suddenly jump off the bridge by himself. Makes no sense.
Also, if there was a hazing ritual that SigEp implemented over the years, why the heck would you lack the sense to jump in a deeper part of the lake.
Lastly, how do end up head first on a 20 foot fall that should last about 1 second of free-fall? That bidge has no where to cling to if you were to fall. How did he end up head down and not feet first?

I was in a frat at Clemson. Once on the run the pledge class president very well might not be leading a run. More than likely he was just in charge of everyone knowing to meet up for the run. As far as Tucker, he probably didn't mean to jump in. The word is that he fell in. People die jumping off of those bridges though. It's not that crazy that someone died going off of that bridge. If he did mean to to.jumk, which doesn't sound like it, he didn't realize how shallow it was. As far as him landing upside down. She started upside down right before the fall according to law enforcement. He was supposedly dangling attached to the bridge for a second. What do you think he might have been murdered?

Based on the structure of the bridge it would be nearly impossible to fall on the back of your head unless he was doing a flip and didn't turn over mid flight. It would also seem impossible for him to grasp any part of the bridge if he had fallen from a standing position. Think about it Lester.

It's not even remotely far fetched. I have jumped off that bridge numerous times. It's also not uncommon for people to be dangling off of bridges by their legs trying to hold on after slipping. He can easily get a clothing item caught. He could have accidentally flipped.. it's not rare at all.

Well if he is on top of a 5 foot-tall side rail doing acrobatics, why is he there in the first place? And why does it take over 7 hours for fraternity brothers to report him missing?

Acrobatics? Now you're just rambling. Read the thread and some of those answers are in there. Actually answers to everything you just wrote are in there to an extent. Read more about the case off of here as well. You're a waste of time to be honest. You have a good day my friend.

There were apparently a lot of group texts in the first few hours that the frat boys were told to delete. If this had happened in the last 5 years, Law enforcement would have had access to technology that would provide a lot more evidence from those boys' phones, as they did with the Murdaugh case in the lowcountry and the Canebrake case in the upstate.

Lester sees no issues with it. Unless it was a black student and then I’m sure he’d be telling us all about the racist culture at Clemson and that fraternity.

Lester sounds like he was one of the “brothers” or connected to them the way he’s defending them and marginalizing a death.

I am not defending them or marginalizing the death. Shyt happens though and it's tragic. I am not trying to hold the university accountable. We did crazy things all of the time in high school and college. There always isn't a conspiracy when a young male dies.

Not reporting it until 7 hours after should be enough of an investigation for attempted or an accessory of murder but in the Deep South, if you got money and you’re white, you’re a class above everyone else.
I’m not shocked that some former fraternity brother is finding a way to defend such a backwards ideological way of thinking.
Yall got to stick together, through controversy or not.
People who have to pay for friends and connections are something else.

I am not defending due to being in a frat once. That has nothing to do with it. I don't even like frats and think they are lame. Secondly, they are claiming they didn't know he was hurt. By the way, the cops will bust white guys we well. There was no proof they did anything. Your comment is idiotic.

Your post confirms they made the correct choice in terms of using their 5th amendment rights.

The fact that none of the brothers went to check on him and just left him there beneath that bridge does it for me.
I hope those kids enjoy being haunted their entire life for that decision alone.
Having been through tough military training, and lead a staff of drill instructors and new recruits through training, I'll say that if those doing the "training" (hazing) aren't extremely mature and well prepared, bad things are bound to happen. For this reason, none of my kids will ever be a part of some initiation lead by a bunch of kids.

One thing that is for imo, is that fraternities are bad news for incoming freshman who are probably the first time on their own. They have enough on their plates without being hazed and hassled.

I know Furman does not allow anyone to rush until their sophomore year which IMO is a good idea

Someone in this thread mentioned a documentary. Does anyone know the name of the documentary or when it might be released?

I’ve never liked frats. They always tried to fight football guys and got whipped.
The main reason I was told you needed to be in a frat was to meet chicks, well he had a hot girlfriend so why join and be harassed by older turd boys? I really wonder how many young college boys have died try8ng to join one of these fraternities?
His mom and dad and siblings will never get over his loss and for what.
