Overview

• Reed was found hanging from a tree on Delta State University's campus in Cleveland, Mississippi, on September 15.
• The Mississippi State Medical Examiner ruled the death a suicide after an autopsy, with toxicology results still pending.
• Ben Crump represents the family, which reports conflicting information about where Reed was found and is seeking release of all records and video.
• Colin Kaepernick’s Know Your Rights Camp Autopsy Initiative will pay for a second, independent autopsy once the state releases the body.
• Investigators say they have no evidence of foul play, security footage is under review, and Cleveland police shared materials with the FBI, which may act if a federal violation is indicated.
