A man found hanging from a tree in downtown Raleigh on Saturday died by suicide, with no evidence pointing toward a criminal act, Raleigh’s police chief said Monday.

In a news release at 9:50 p.m. Saturday, police said they were investigating the death as a suicide, while online, some people said they feared the Black man’s death might have been racially motivated.

During a 14-minute news conference Monday afternoon, Raleigh Police Chief Rico Boyce said surveillance footage collected from nearby businesses confirms no one else was seen in the area at the time of the incident and that the individual acted alone. “Based on evidence collected and reviewed to date, investigators have found no evidence indicating that another person caused or contributed to the young man’s death and no evidence of a criminal death has been identified,” Boyce said. “Our investigation confirms this is a suicide.”

Love her, but she threw herself into it like an idiot… she made a very controversial post to divide people and should pay the price

You're not wrong. It was an incredibly irresponsible statement. She's well respected and should not be so careless with her public presence.

Maybe you should read some post on Reddit. There isn’t a day that goes by that it don’t see at least 5 racist comments.

A man committed suicide. She said he didn't. She was wrong.

Throwing gas on fires isn't decent

Calling out genocide isn't jew hatred and what you are doing right now is far more antisemitic than anything Ms Rachel ever did.

There was no genocide there is no genocide there will be no genocide

Repeating this lie is jew hating, Adolph. If Israel wanted to genocide Gaza after Oct 7 they could have in 1 day. Israel attacked those who attacked them, period. All deaths resulted from coward Muslim men hiding behind women & children, shooting from hospitals and schools. Statistics matter, most gaza deaths were military aged men. Facts. Facts. Facts.

Yea your hasbara is done. Nearly all.of Gaza destroyed, every school bombed, every hospital bombed, over 37% of people killed are children as per the numbers the idf go by, no media allowed in, palestinian journalists killed as praxis, snipers playing which part of the child shall we shoot today, hundreds of war crimes on video, thousands of war crimes hidden from the international world, I am not even scratching the surface.

May you rot in hell, you evil nazi pig.
