Hazing not involved, so far

Oconee Sheriff Mike Crenshaw has responded to speculation and what he calls innuendo, especially on social media, whether hazing played a part in Tucker Hipps’ death.  Crenshaw yesterday afternoon made this statement:  “So far, there has been no indication in the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office investigation that hazing played a part….Once again, the investigation is ongoing.  Sheriff’s Investigators continue to work with ClemsonUniversity, the Clemson University Police Department and the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity to determine the manner of death in this case.  We are also asking that anyone that may have been traveling along Highway 93 and the Seneca River Bridge area between 5:30 am and 6 am (Monday) to call the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office if they saw anything at that time….”
