School Violence Law extends our deepest sympathies to the family of Yiorgo Karnezis.
Friends, family, and the Sycamore community gather to celebrate Karnezis’ life with a candlelight vigil.Yiorgo Karnezis – the Indiana State University freshman who lost his life after falling from a boat at a Sigma Chi fraternity event in Illinois – was celebrated by family, friends, and community at a candle light vigil in Sycamore, Indiana.
Douglas Fierberg – a nationally renowned wrongful death attorney who has brought suit against universities, national fraternities, and local chapter members for student deaths – cautions:
“Even if a party is held at an off-campus location, the hosts and the organization may still be liable.”
School Violence Law specializes in representing victims of similar tragedies associated with fraternities, as such, our hope is that the Karnezis family finds answers related to how this terrible loss transpired.
Our thoughts are with Yiorgo’s family and community during this extremely difficult time.
