JUST IN: Law firm says it will investigate death of Akron teen football player who drowned
AKRON, Ohio — Following the drowning death of 14-year-old Toshaye Pope last week, his family has retained the services of Tittle & Perlmuter law firm to investigate the matter and look into the circumstances surrounding his death.
Pope was an incoming freshmen at Akron Early College High School and was taking part at a football event for Ellet High School, where he was permitted to play since his school didn't have a team. The law firm said the teen's parents were unaware of the team's plans, as they weren't informed by anyone. It wasn't until police called his parents and told them they needed to head to the hospital that they learned what happened.
A freshman football player’s family should not have to worry about whether their son is going to come home from team events. We intend to get answers for Toshaye’s grieving family and request prayers as they try to get through this unthinkable loss. We will investigate whether the safety rules were followed by all involved; and if they were not, hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
