    It could take up to three months to learn exactly what caused the death of a Florida A&M University band member whom investigators suspect was the victim of hazing, an official said Wednesday.

    Robert Champion, 26, a drum major, was found unresponsive on a bus parked outside an Orlando hotel on Saturday night after Florida A&M lost to rival Bethune-Cookman. Investigators believe hazing occurred before 911 was called. Champion was vomiting and had complained he couldn't breathe before he collapsed.

    The exact cause and manner of Champion's death remains undetermined pending the autopsy results, said Sheri Blanton, a forensic coordinator for the state medical examiner. There is no timetable for results, but most cases take 10 to 12 weeks, she said.

    That's terrible. Hazing for band members? You've got to be kidding.

    Tragic.
