Case Details
Who: Joshua Daniel Mardis was a college sophomore and participant in a fraternity rush event.
What Happened: On February 2, 2023, Joshua Mardis participated in a fraternity rush event that allegedly involved forced consumption of alcohol and exposure to mind-altering substances as part of an unsanctioned hazing ritual. After being rendered unconscious, Joshua and others were placed into a vehicle driven by an impaired fraternity member. The vehicle crossed the center line and struck a tree at high speed. Joshua Mardis and two other passengers were killed in the collision.
The Estate of Joshua Daniel Mardis filed a wrongful death lawsuit asserting that hazing-related conduct, alcohol and drug use, and negligence were proximate causes of the fatal crash and resulting deaths. The case is still ongoing.
