Just a thought...This man’s suicide could also have been his ultimate activist statement, however false, in that it was meant to cause mass-suspicion of a hate crime. He may have thought that he’d found a way to add meaning to his death but unless proof is found either way, he was just another poor soul who decided to end it all.

"With tensions between police and local black communities soaring across the country in the wake of the deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and Freddie Gray, Champion’s family sought to make it clear that he did not attempt to evade questioning."

Didn't take 'em long to rescind Trayvon's halo

My first thoughts may be guilt thus a suicide. There is no mention in the article about how the woman died and how this man may be connected.. only that he was interviewed twice. If there wasn’t any obvious signs of a fight/beating.. perhaps he couldn’t live with the guilt or the perceived prison term if convicted. Just my thoughts on this....

And I was under the impression that the family was found hanging in the tree.

Most families hanging from trees would want answers, whomever they were related to.

I want answers, too. But I want them based on the facts, ascertained through forensic and investigative excellence.

I do NOT want a politicized, politically correct set of answers designed to inflame one side or the other while quelling unrest for the opposing side.

If it was suicide, the scene will tell the tale. If it was not, then the same dictum holds true.

He was really just turning his life around, likely on his way to church that day, graduating from high school shortly, everything set for a productive, long and happy life!

Is it possible for your sympathy gland to malfunction? I’m just not “feeling the pain” anymore.

Can I sue these folks for attempted abuse of my sympathy gland?

If this was a white man hanging from a tree and the cause was thought to be suicide...

Non-story...

I maybe off by a few years but there has been no official lynching documented since 1968

Lots of whites were lynched in the south back in that day as well...
