A man has reportedly been found dead and hanging from a tree Monday morning (June 15) in a vacant lot in Houston’s Shady Acres neighborhood.

According to Houston Police Spokesperson Jodi Silva, the death is “believed to be a suicide,” however the official cause of death is pending until an autopsy is performed.

Silva also says the HPD could not immediately provide more information about the unidentified man because his body was found “in an advanced stage of decomposition.”

From what I've read, this is the fifth, not the third, since May 31st. New York, 2 in California (which the story mentions), Virginia, and now Houston, Texas. The story mentions that the body is in an "advanced state of decomposition". Do you honestly expect us to believe that the victim has been hanging there long enough to reach that state and no one noticed him until now?

1. I caught a bunch of those stories recently. I guess that is why racists like to lynch

it is sometimes hard to tell it apart from suicide. Not that I trust the white supremacist infiltrated police departments to investigate honestly there.

7. Agree

A good ME has all kinds of subtle things on the body that help them ascertain suicide vs homicide on a hanging and other deaths.

The question is, does the ME lie, and agree with the cops and cover their story or not.......

Look at the Autopsy that the coroner said showed no signs of restriction of the trachea or Carotid artery after the cop had kneeled on both for nine minutes......and the coroner said it must have been a "Heart Problem"..........

Then, of course, you have to find a jury without a racist on it........

13. B.I.N.G.O.

Mmmhmmm.

[DENVERPOPS]

15. Can't wait

For Dr. Michael Baden's testimony vs the coroner's opinion.........

Baden is one of the premier Forensic Pathologists in the nation and can obliterate the opinion of coroners. Granted, he's a little bit of a publicity hound and grand stander, but still highly respected.

Fascinating side note.......COUNTLESS counties across the nation can't afford a Medical Doctor, much less a Forensic Pathologist.
So they hire someone to be the county coroner who has neither qualification......Scary, huh........

A close friend of mine is a top ME Forensic Pathologist with 30+ years in a major city in America......and has told me many stories.....

2. I'm in Texas. Last week was our first 100 degree wave.

To be blunt, there is absolutely no way a body could hang in the Texas summer sun and no on would notice it until it reached an "advanced state of decomposition." He did not get in that tree by himself.

6. doesn't take long in 100 degree heat for a body to get pretty "advanced"

trust me, I deal with dead livestock from traffic and trains enough to know

3. What in the fuck are we going to do about this? This is evil and crazy

That orange piece of shit fed this mental illness.

Fuck it really got me.

Those poor families.

We are NOT going to let this bullshit stand.

11. First is do not assume every story is a case of murder for starters.

After all there are 330+ million people in this country and every year more people die by suicide than are murdered.
On the other hand this case and others like it should not automatically be considered a suicide either rather there should be a complete investigation.
In this case they actually might be able to tell how long the body has been there by examining the varies insects as the life cycle of some species is very specific on how fast it can develop.

4. Do you think someone hung him there after

he reached "advanced state of decomposition"?

[TXPaganBanker]

5. I absolutely believe he was already dead.

If they do an actual autopsy instead of just ruling it a suicide, I would be dollars to donuts they will find evidence of injury prior to death.

[sarisataka]

8. He may have been placed in the tree post mortem

but likely soon after death. Waiting would make the task... difficult.

An autopsy would be called for in this and the other cases. Suicides in public areas are not unheard of but it seems to suddenly have become unusually common.

9. A sudden rash of back suicides by hanging? Anyone believe in coincidence?

[Igel]

10. Misdirected.

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Man-found-dead-in-apparent-suicide-in-the-15341737.php

After the man's body was discovered in the Shady Acres community, a Huffington Post freelance reporter mischaracterized the victim on Twitter as a black male and questioned official statements on the likely cause of death. The tweet was widely liked and shared. ...

The Huffington Post freelance reporter deleted his earlier tweet and shared Acevedo's tweet, which included a link to a Houston Chronicle story on the incident.

Then again, when has Twitter ever proven to be in error?

12. Omg...

I just found out elsewhere that there were four!

I highly doubt this is a coincidence!
I could be wrong - but between the pResident's dog whistles to outright bellowing, and the uprising of black people and others against police violence and murders of black people with too many cops feeling a deep "affrontary" to people's righteous rage right now is too fishy to me.

14. can you share info

I can't seem to find anything about a black man hanging in Virginia can you post a link?

[ripcord]

16. There have been two POC found hanged in the Southern California high desert

One in Palmdale the other in Victorville about 50 miles away, the high desert is more conservative than the rest of the state.

17. Suffocation/hanging is used in about 25% of suicides.
