The family of a Black man found dead in North Carolina with a rope around his neck is demanding answers from authorities, who say there were no signs of foul play.
HENDERSON , N.C. — The family of a Black man found dead in North Carolina with a rope around his neck under a tree is demanding answers and transparency from authorities, who say there were no signs of foul play.
Lawyers for Magee’s family addressed reporters on Wednesday to demand answers after they met earlier in the day with the sheriff and his command staff. On his way out from the Walmart parking lot, Magee was seen stepping out of the truck to hand money to a homeless person outside the entrance. Authorities interviewed the homeless person, who said Magee gave them $228.
Investigators said that they found Magee in a seated position with the rope tied tightly around his neck and the other end around a tree branch. The brand of rope was one sold by Walmart, and a detective used packaging to determine that the rope had been purchased by Magee the previous day, according to the sheriff’s office.
