Delta State University police chief Michael L. Peeler said during a press conference that 21-year-old student Demartravion "Trey" Reed committed suicide on the Cleveland campus Monday, Sept. 15, and there was no evidence of foul play involved.

"At approximately 7:05 a.m., university police was notified of what appeared to be the body of a black male hanging from a tree on central campus near the DSU pickleball courts," Peeler said.


ETA: I made an error in this and I apologize. I should not have worded it the way I did. The unconfirmed reports through influencers, social media, and family appear to be completely false and inflammatory and also don't rise the level of being reports. However, being sent messages of these are not equatable.

Sounds like he tried to create a stir with his suicide.

I would think that any black male would be trying to avoid this.

Kill themselves in one of the most common methods since the invention of the rope?

I’m sorry for his family’s loss.

However he gets no empathy from me because he was obviously racist for making a noose.

Am I doing it right?

I didn’t say he didn’t kill himself, I’m saying it’s not what I would expect.

It’s the second leading method for them behind guns.

Maybe I just remember all the hanging from when I was a kid…

I stopped by the Burger King in Cleveland last Thursday night on the way home. Based on demographics of Cleveland and surrounding areas I can almost assure you whites were not involved in his death. My prayers to his family.

Should simply be "Delta State student found dead from suicide"

But they get more clicks from "BLACK" and "HANGING" combined.
