Authorities in Mississippi said Thursday that autopsy results confirmed a Black student who was found hanging from a tree on the campus of Delta State University died by suicide.
“On September 17, 2025, the Mississippi State Medical Examiner’s Office conducted an autopsy. Findings were consistent with the initial investigation, determining the cause of death to be hanging and the manner of death as suicide,” the Cleveland Police Department said in a statement. “Final toxicology results are pending and may take two to four weeks to complete.”
Demartravion “Trey” Reed, 21, was found near the pickleball courts on campus Monday, sparking fear and concern among the student body.
Prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump said Wednesday he has been retained by Reed’s family, writing on social media, “Trey was a young man full of promise and warmth, deeply loved and respected by all who knew him. His family and the campus community deserve a full, independent investigation to uncover the truth about what happened.”
At a news conference held Wednesday, university officials said a preliminary report by the local coroner did not indicate foul play.

This would still be an Afro-American equivilant of self-immoliation. Used to be newsworthy and make the talking heads pretend to care for a moment on its own. We are far from better-off since the fascists and media decided its safe to ignore such things.
