JACKSON Miss.
Bradley Jameson chose to leave his native Texas for the University of Mississippi because he wanted to attend school “in a community that was all about the college.”
Oxford, a town of about 14,000 people built around a historic town square and a love of its Ole Miss Rebels, seemed just the place he was looking for. But Jameson’s stay in Oxford was cut tragically short when the 18-year-old freshman died Saturday after a bizarre accident.
Jameson died from massive head trauma after falling out of a tree outside the Beta Theta Pi house on the campus’ Fraternity Row, authorities said. He had apparently climbed the tree to retrieve a football that had gotten stuck during a late night game of catch.
