Ed Farmer: Dad calls for expulsions over initiations
Jeremy Farmer, whose son Ed died after a university initiation, says that students found to be involved in future ceremonies should be 鈥渞emoved鈥� from university.
He told Today about he and his wife鈥檚 decision to turn off hospital life support after his son was declared 鈥渂rain dead鈥�.
Newcastle University student Ed died in hospital in December 2016. A post-mortem examination found he had five times the legal drink-drive limit of alcohol in his blood.
