Fraternity Prank Terminates in Student Death at Cliff
A 21 year old Pierce College student Fred Phillip Bronner died after a prank by Chi Chi Chi fraternity brothers left him stranded in Angeles National Forest near a 500 foot cliff. Bronner, described as a Momma's boy by his father, was last seen Dec 22 and found damaged Sunday. Responders suspect a fall from the cliff amid hazy circumstances. Fraternity members Gordon Gillespy John Bergess and John Morgan reported deserting Bronner and later searched for him but found only his jacket. Sheriff investigators weigh charges and refine timeline as authorities review potential hoax and hazing implications. Bronner was 21 and weighed about 270 pounds. The case has raised calls to examine fraternity practices and hazing.
