Delta State Police Chief Michael Peeler said there was also no evidence of an ongoing threat to students and faculty. He told reporters Monday the death investigation was being assisted by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation as well as local police and sheriff’s deputies.

Online rumors that the student was found with broken limbs were disputed by Bolivar County Coroner Randolph Seals Jr.

      A second hanging was found just after in a different part of Mississippi. This victim was white. Will be interesting to see if there’s interest. He was reportedly unhoused so another easy write off for the media.
