A student was discovered dead hanging from a tree in the middle of a university in the Mississippi Delta.
The body of Demartravion ‘Trey’ Reed, 21, was found on Monday at Delta State University’s central campus, said its director of public safety, Mike Peeler.
‘University Police was notified of what appeared to be the body of a Black male hanging from a tree (at) central campus near the DSU pickleball course,’ he stated.
‘Delta State University is deeply saddened to confirm the discovery of the deceased individual on our campus this morning.’ Bolivar County Deputy Coroner Murray Roark said he ‘saw no broken limbs’.
‘I don’t think I should probably discuss this any further than that, my opinion is that it was self-done, and I have reasons for that,’ Roark told the Mississippi Free Press
