A Bucknell University football strength and conditioning coach is charged in the 2024 death of a freshman recruit who died of stress-induced sickle cell disease after being ordered to do exercises as punishment, reported the Pennsylvania Capital-Star..
The
Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office announced that Mark Kulbis is
charged with felony aggravated hazing and misdemeanor counts of involuntary
manslaughter, reckless endangerment and hazing.
Calvin
“C.J.” Dickey Jr., 18, died July 12, 2024, two days after he collapsed during a
workout on the first day of practice in which Kulbis ordered the freshman
players to do dozens of “up-downs” because they “came up short,” according to
court documents.
The
attorney general’s office said an investigation showed Bucknell had provided
training for its coaches on working with student-athletes with sickle cell
trait, advising them to gradually work such students up to intense exercise
rather than forcing them, which can result in death.
