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.

    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.

      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.
