Nearly 100 people died at the Florida School for Boys, which was shuttered in 2011.

Dozier School for Boys in Marianna, Fla., in 2013. More than two dozen new"possible graves" were found this week, after researchers though they had discovered them all.
Given the history of the site, the report recommended the area be treated as graves until further testing could be done. In three cases documented by researchers, boys were killed by other boys at the school. Others perished in a 1914 fire or died of illnesses such as influenza. However, the reasons for several deaths remain unknown.“I’ll be laying in bed,” a former student, Eddie Horn, told the Times in 2009, “and I can feel the pain from where they beat me.”
