Rameses is the mascot for the North Carolina Tar Heels.
On March 23, 2007, Jason Ray, the cheerleader assigned to the Rameses costume, was struck by a vehicle outside the UNC cheerleaders' hotel in Fort Lee, New Jersey on Route 4 prior to the Tar Heels' Sweet Sixteen game with the University of Southern California. During the game, the university released a statement saying that Ray was at a local hospital in critical condition. Upon hearing the news, the UNC cheerleaders agreed to cheer at the game without the mascot.
Jason Ray died on March 26, 2007 at the Hackensack University Medical Center as a result of the injuries sustained in the accident.
