Trey Reed was a 21-year-old Black student at Delta State University who was found hanging from a tree on campus, a tragic event that has gone viral on social media due to concerns and allegations surrounding his death.
The official coroner’s report ruled the death as a suicide, stating no evidence of foul play, but family members and social media users have raised serious questions.
Allegations include claims from a cousin that Trey faced racial violence on campus and that his death might have been caused by that violence rather than suicide.
The university responded by canceling events, offering counseling, and increasing campus security.
The case has sparked widespread calls for transparency and a thorough investigation, with many doubting the official conclusion given reported injuries such as broken arms and a leg, and the lack of visible surveillance footage.
