Ole Miss Student Falls from Tree Outside Beta House

Funeral Set for UM Student

A freshman at the University of Mississippi fell to his death on Saturday from a tree outside of the Beta Theta Pi house.

Bradley Jameson, 18, of Fort Worth, Texas, had climbed the tree to grab a football that got stuck after a late night game of catch. He fell about 12 feet onto a concrete patio and later died from massive head trauma, police said.

University officials said they didn't believe alcohol or drugs played a part in the freshman's tragic death.
