1. Dying, anyway.

12. Few comments...

....may not seem plausible, but "interesting" nonetheless.

1.Her "locs" naturally fall down. In the photo, her "locs" are falling behind her.
2. The fat in her face is pushed towards her ears.
3. She did not have a lazy eye.
4. She has on an orange outfit and the pic is taken during "processing".

Whoever we are and whatever we believe, we have to understand that, given the sanctioned terrorism that has happened to Black people in the US, the climate of "conjecture", "fear", and "paranoia" is going to be cultivated.

2. Hmm no, and I have seen plenty of dead bodies

8. I agree and for the same reason

In addition, there are no ligature marks around her neck.

10. Good point

I was looking for cyanosis on the edge of the lips, which would indicate early hypoxia. Nope not there.

Though there are signs of obvious mistreatment and that she had been crying a lot.

Has a dead-eyed look, but you can see life in the eyes.

13. Phone calls of her calling her family after the fact have been released

and she was alive then.

14. Twitter must never have seen a dead person before

She isn't dead there. Dead people don't focus their eyes to look into the camera

[DawgHouse]

15. I think she looks ill. nt

16. I saw a doctored photo like that on twitter

There was a photo on twitter floating around, but it really looked fake to me.

[Positrons]

17. No...

Looks like someone has fiddled with it as well...

[Cheese Sandwich]

18. Someone said her left arm looks stretched out like she is actually being restrained on the floor

19. I don't think so eom
