The death of a Black woman found hanged from a tree in Mississippi evoked painful memories of the grim history of lynching that once pervaded the entire American South.

Over the past two years, roughly six Black women and men have been found hanged across the South, and in some of those cases the police swiftly ruled suicide โ€” a practice that has often stirred a skepticism deeply rooted in history, one that arises whenever investigators present limited evidence insufficient to rule out the possibility of a crime.

In February, police forces from Cobb County in the US state of Georgia discovered the remains of 21-year-old Kyle Bassinga in a park.

Im Februar entdeckten Polizeikrรคfte des Cobb County im US-Bundesstaat Georgia die sterblichen รœberreste des 21-jรคhrigen Kyle Bassinga in einem Park.

Although the investigative authorities announced that there were no indications whatsoever of any criminal conduct, Lisa Cupid, chair of the Cobb County Board of Commissioners, remarked that Bassinga's death had "evoked associations with the era of slavery and Jim Crow laws in many people".

The death of Trey Reed, a 21-year-old Black student, which occurred in September 2025 at Delta State University in Mississippi, was ruled a suicide, and the death of 39-year-old Denoris Richardson, which occurred in September 2024 in rural Colbert County, Alabama, was likewise ruled a suicide.
