THEE Realist
CLEVELAND, Miss. - A Delta State University student was discovered hanging from a tree on campus Monday morning, according to school and law enforcement officials. Law enforcement does not suspect foul play.

The university said that student was 21-year-old Demartravion "Trey" Reed of Grenada, Mississippi. Delta State's University Police Chief Mike Peeler said officers discovered Reed around 7 a.m. on September 15. Reed's body was hanging from a tree in the central part of campus, near the pickleball courts, Peeler said.

Peeler said he does not suspect foul play in Reed's death and that Reed's body has been retrieved by the Bolivar County Coroner's Office and that an autopsy will be conducted.

The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, along with other local agencies, will assist in the investigation into Reed's death.

Authorities closed the campus of Delta State University after the discovery. Peeler said no lockdown was put in place and emphasized that there is no danger to the campus.

 



I've learned to just wait and see the outcome with stuff like this. The internet will have you thinking the absolute worst from the start and then you end up looking dumb in the end... like the republicans with the Charlie Kirk shit. I've seen everything from no reason to suspect foul play to he had broken arms and legs. No clue what's actually real.
 
“ That’s one of the reasons for the urgency of this press conference,” Jones continued, “because the family is getting all of their information secondhand through the news.”

And a confusing incident occurred the morning of Trey’s death, she said.

“The Grenada County Sheriff’s Department arrived at Trey’s family’s home … at approximately 9:15, and informed the family that Trey was found dead in his dorm room, in his bed,” she said.

Not long after, the family would learn that Trey had died in the center of campus, hanging from a tree.

 
As someone said above, just wait and see. I had to learn that myself in this situation when some attention whore who claimed to be his cousin made it about Alphabeticals🏳️‍🌈. So glad Kap is paying for an independent autopsy so as to prevent shenanigans with how quickly the DSU police ruled it a suicide despite no official autopsy being done yet

Cleveland is over 70% black (as is most of the Delta) but it is one of the few places something like this could happen (Greenwood being the other). Delta State has always been right leaning since my undergrad days despite being in a predominantly black region They finally got their MAGA president a few years ago and then preceded to start hemorrhaging students to the point of cutting programs.
 
He was lynched.
Some of you are gonna have to accept that fact that black people have mental health issues too. Pretty much nothing suggests dude was lynched. And that's exactly why I said what I said in my first post. There's cameras all over that campus in a situation that ended up being a national story. There was no chance they'd have been able to hide a lynching in the middle of the campus.
