Hassan and Magda Noureddine say they're still struggling to cope with the loss of their son, Zaher [Zack] Noureddine. He has created a foundation in his son's name and said if he ever receives the crowdfunding money it will be donated to the fund. Hassan Noureddine said police told him it could take up to eight months for the case to be assigned to an investigator. But in general, Tassé said online campaign creators have "no legal obligation" to spend money the way donors want. Attempts by CBC News to reach the California resident identified by both Hassan Noureddine and GoFundMe as the campaign organizer were not successful.
