Investigators stated that there was no evidence of foul play, and officials have ruled the student’s death as a suicide. However, Reed’s family has called for an independent autopsy.
“We will seek answers independently from Delta State University and from the coroner’s office and, if need be, independently from the state coroner’s office because we need answers as to what happened to Trey Reed,” said family attorney Vaness J. Jones in a statement reported by USA Today.
On Friday, civil rights attorney Ben Crump announced that the Colin Kaepernick Know Your Rights Camp Autopsy Initiative would cover the cost of a second, independent autopsy for Reed.
According to Crump, Reed’s family will pursue the autopsy as soon as Reed’s body is released by the state medical examiner.
