The circumstances of Demartravion “Trey” Reed’s dying stay clouded as his household has been given conflicting and complicated experiences as to the place, when, and the way the Delta State College scholar was discovered lifeless. Famend activist and athlete Colin Kaepernick has stepped as much as pay for an impartial post-mortem.
Reed was discovered lifeless and hanging from a tree on the Mississippi college on Monday (Sept. 15), however his household mentioned they’ve acquired conflicting experiences on the character of his dying. “The household doesn’t know precisely what occurred on September the fifteenth of 2025,” mentioned household lawyer Vanessa J. Jones. “We’re in search of solutions from Delta State College. We’re in search of solutions from the coroner’s workplace.”
Jones mentioned that when his household was first advised about his dying, law enforcement officials claimed that he was discovered lifeless in his dorm room, not hanging from a tree. They realized that he was discovered hanging from a tree on the college campus when the media reported on it. Officers mentioned there is no proof of foul play based mostly on preliminary investigations, one thing the NAACP solid doubt on in an announcement that asserted Reed was “lynched.”
It appears unlikely {that a} younger man who was reportedly passionate about his college and his future would commit suicide. Early experiences that Reed had damaged bones have been denied by the Bolivar County Coroner’s Workplace, and Reed’s dying was proclaimed “self-done.” The circumstances surrounding the misreporting of the place Reed and the state of his physique depart his household in search of solutions.
