Wayment. Burnt, hanging body. Cmon brother, not a suicide.
How do they come to the conclusion so quickly that it was suicide
Someone burned and hung is not a act of foul play??? What???!!!!!
How can you hang and burn yourself at the same time??? How do they know it's suicide if they don't know who the person is??? Sounds like lazy work!
So I can have enough time to hang myself and then setup myself on flames or first setup myself on flames and then hanging myself? I'm not detective but this is highly suspicious. I'll be looking into foul play before concluding it was suicide.
It's like The Onion skits of old
This is All Joe Biden and the Democrats Fault!!!
This is horrible and even worse they would quickly deem it a suicide that quickly.
People sadly commit suicide to end the suffering, they don’t pick ways to make it more painful in the process.
This was a murder plain and simple. If the victim is African-American, this was definitely a hate crime and a federal investigation should be done, the LAPD should hand over this to the DOJ. Someone is trying to send a message here and it is showing just where our country is headed when you have law enforcement officials lying through their teeth, covering up something so heinous. No one commits a suicide by hanging from a tree and setting themselves on fire.
So you didn’t even identify who it is but came to a conclusion of how it happened that fast.
Second, hanging from a tree… what led you guys to believe this is suicide and not murder?
(The body is burnt) if someone on fire you’re telling me all this happened up in the tree?
This don’t even add up, who climbs a tree with idk gasoline and lighter and rope? Wtf
Please post an update on this story.
Detective::: seems to me it’s a suicide. The corpse had to burn himself then hang him self or the other way around, we still investigating.
They probably don't want to scare the public. I'm glad to see most people ain't buying this "suicide."
He hung himself den light himself up okay😭🤣
Wow
How does someone hang and light themselves on fire???
This boggles my mind!!! This person definitely wanted to die if in fact it was a suicide!!
A Suicide? Set yrself on fire while hanging themselves 6 feet up in the air!?
Look up hangings of blacks in AmeriKKKa… many conveniently ruled "suicide" GTFOH this is the best detective LA has to offer?
No offense but I'm trying to picture hanging my self ND setting myself on fire before taking my last breath or setting my self on fire then hanging myself before taking my last breath 🤔
Okay if you say so🤔🤥
Bro what???
Lies lies lies how TF can a person hang them self and set they SELF on fire. Unbelievable!!!!
Obviously a planned murder attempt to
Get rid of the evidence by burning
Suicide my a**!! That person was murdered
Poor tree!😒
Gottdamn
How do u hang ur self and set ur self on fire but I’m just a barber idk nothing
Lies lies lies… don't want another race war so they said it was a suicide.. are you freaking serious. Black or White they deserve justice and not swept under the burning rug..
I'm somewhat lost, and maybe you can help me with this. What came first? The hanging or the fire. Meaning did she fight
That's not a suicide, not enough evidence yet. This feels like some cartel ish!!
The reminds me of the End Of New Brian episode on family guy .
“I killed myself, chopped myself up , & threw myself in the garbage “
“It WAS a human person.” I HATE those vegetable persons!!
You set yourself on fire and then jump
How does that not make sense ppl
AUTOMATIC suicide? something smells here.
Please tell me that he said he didn’t believe this to be suicide.
Everything is gonna be suicide from now on so they can get back to their lunch.
It looks like the work of the KKK this doesn't sit right with me at all
So assisted suicide? How can someone hang themselves and simultaneously light themselves on fire?
