Delta State Police Chief Michael Peeler said there was also no evidence of an ongoing threat to students and faculty. He told reporters Monday the death investigation was being assisted by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation as well as local police and sheriff’s deputies.
Online rumors that the student was found with broken limbs were disputed by Bolivar County Coroner Randolph Seals Jr.
Novody cares, he wasn’t white.
A second hanging was found just after in a different part of Mississippi. This victim was white. Will be interesting to see if there’s interest. He was reportedly unhoused so another easy write off for the media.
Obligatory: Strange Fruit by Billie Holiday. Circa 1959.
Mississippi Goddamn.
Police told his parents they found him dead in his bed, they found out from the news that he was hanged.
No foul play, my ass.
Let me guess, the police chief’s son is involved.
So the police did it. Or someone related to the police.
Mississippi has a history of sweeping black murders under the rug.
A black person hanging from a tree, in a southern state, is itself a sign of foul play.
Pretty sure if anybody is found hanging from a tree without a chair or something under them is foul play. A black person hanging from a tree with nothing under them is likely a lynching and a hate crime.
There was nobody around using bed sheets or burning crosses. Let’s not jump into conclusions.

The family is seeking an independent autopsy. Do we know about how long that will take? Somehow, no matter the results, I doubt i’ll continue to see much about this specific incident in national news, and I’d like to remind myself to check back in on this.
yeah, but what about charlie kirk? he was a national treasure!!11one!
Don’t worry about him. Charlie is settling into his afterlife of eternal torment.
Shouldn’t take long but yes the media will be over this by then, they barely touched it.
This is going to be another one of those “we demand justice for” and within a month Trump will be badmouthing the poor guy that was hanged.
*lynched
No disrespect meant, but that’s what this was (barring independent evidence to the contrary).
people need to stop paying federal taxes.
This one is on Mississippi. Withholding federal taxes won’t help with this.
All of this shit is being precipitated by the shit happening in washington.
Oh, ABC says that? The Nazi propaganda machine that just fired Jimmy Kimmel? Nothing to see here folks!
Poor kid. Whether suicide or otherwise. A tragedy.
It’s Mississippi. It was a lynching, and like every lynching in the past, they’ve said “oh it must have been a suicide, we’ve got no evidence!”
Chances are, the people investigating them are friends with, or in fact are, the people that did it,
Still a fucking tragedy
Absolutely.
But it wasn’t a suicide. It was murder.
Yeah, you know, black people hand themselves all the time in Mississippi.
Don’t know what about Mississippi makes black people want to hang themselves so much more than in other states. Must be a black people issue.
