New London - More than 200 cadets and staff from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy are in Maryland to attend the funeral today for Kenneth Link, a cadet at the school.
Link (2012), of Baltimore, collapsed in August while running and went into a coma. He had just finished his first year at the academy.
He died last week.
The majority of Link's classmates made the trip, along with several upperclassmen who ran cross country with Link. The superintendent, commandant of cadets and two chaplains also are attending the funeral, according to the academy.
Cadets will participate in the funeral by giving a eulogy, reading Scriptures and singing. The academy plans to hold a memorial service at the New London campus but the date has not yet been determined.
