Black Woman Found Hanging in Tree in Mississippi

The woman whose body was found hanging from a tree behind a vacant Jackson, Mississippi, home is 29-year-old Tasia Fortune, the Hinds County Coroner’s Office said on Thursday. Authorities have not said whether or not they suspect foul play.
The Jackson Police Department first announced in a statement on Monday evening that officers “located the body of an unidentified Black female” at the 500 block of Road of Remembrance, a mostly Black neighborhood, at 9:05 that night. Neighbors in the mostly Black Jackson neighborhood contacted police after finding her body, though it is not clear how long it had been there.
Hinds County Coroner Jeremiah Howard, who publicly identified the body as Tasia Fortune on Thursday, said earlier this week that the body would be transported to the Mississippi State Medical Examiner’s Office to perform an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death.
“The family also wants others to know that justice will be served, and they hold firmly to their faith, believing that God is on their side as they walk through this heartbreaking loss,” Fortune’s aunt adds.
Black Community already claiming white people done it. No white people around Jackson Mississippi

Tasia was a strong-minded, big-hearted, vibrant young woman whose life was taken at just twenty-nine years old. Her loss has deeply shaken everyone who knew and loved her, and her family is now trying to begin healing while also facing the painful responsibility of saying their final farewells.”
Fortune’s aunt, Etta Avolio, started a GoFundMe to help raise funds to cover burial expenses and final arrangements. The GoFundMe, which has a $3,000 goal, had raised over $1,600 as of Thursday evening. Avolio confirmed the fundraiser’s legitimacy to the Mississippi Free Press.

Racist whites aren’t going into this area. This was a suicide.
Anyone looking to do a lynching is doing it in an area THEY feel comfortable in, not their victim.

They will have Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson's ashes at that press conference.

Yep. 100% a suicide. Whitey is a lot of things but he ain't dumb enough to go try to hang a girl in the hood.

Blacks and SJWs on social media have already decided she was lynched by a white mob.

Ben Crump, the attorney who represented Reed’s family, cast doubt on the official ruling that Reed’s death was a suicide and helped obtain an independent autopsy. Last week, the Mississippi Free Press reported for the first time that Reed’s family said his girlfriend had received text messages from his phone the night before his body was found in which he threatened to hang himself. The family still has questions, though. They said they are waiting on the final independent autopsy results, but have not been able to reach Crump since January. Crump also represents the family of Nolan Wells.
You know Ben Crump is going to be involved. Mississippi is going to keep Ben Crump rich for a while. Donations will be big.

They also want you to know it was a lynching. Epsteining someone defeats the purpose.

Ben Crump already on the ground in Jackson. Gonna try to spin this racism hoax into another national story.

I know what social media and the media will try to use this as but people hang themselves all the time. I couldn't tell you how many hangings I worked in fire/ems. It's not usually black people that do it but I've worked a few.

It's also quite easy for the forensics people to tell the difference between a suicide and an Epstein.
