The FAMU student who died after the Florida Classic game on Saturday, is Robert Champion.
Champion, 26 years, was a drum major for the FAMU band.
Deputies said, after the Florida Classic game, the band returned to the Rosen Center Hotel on International drive just before 10:00 p.m., when Champion complained of not being able to breathe. Â He reportedly threw up in the parking lot, deputies said.
Colleagues and friends of Robert called 911 and began administering CPR.
Robert was transported to the Doctor Phillips Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Deputies said, Robert’s mother and FAMU officials were notified of his death.
No foul play is suspected in Robert’s death at this time, deputies said.
This is an ongoing investigation.

You really make it appear so easy together with your presentation however I find this matter to be really something which I believe I might never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I’m taking a look forward on your subsequent submit, I?ll attempt to get the grasp of it!
