尸检确认三角洲州立大学学生死亡为自杀

摘要

警方称,尸检结果确定在三角洲州立大学被发现吊死的21岁黑人学生死因是自杀。

密西西比州州立法医进行的尸检得出结论,三角洲州立大学一名21岁黑人学生被发现吊死在树上,其死因是自杀,克利夫兰警方周四宣布。该结果与博利瓦县验尸官的初步检查一致,后者未发现任何他杀迹象。

这名学生的死亡于周一早些时候被发现,在拥有种族暴力历史的密西西比州引发了强烈情绪。在尸检结果公布之前,学生的家属及其律师呼吁进行独立尸检,并要求获取与事件相关的任何监控录像。民权律师本·克鲁姆表示,他将领导一项独立调查。

克利夫兰警方尚未公布尸检的更多细节,但确认死因是吊死,死亡方式被判定为自杀。毒理学结果尚未出炉,可能需要数周时间。调查仍在进行中,证据文件已与联邦调查局和联邦检察官共享。

密西西比州民主党籍美国众议员本尼·汤普森此前已呼吁联邦调查局对此事展开调查。
