Suspicions of foul play were raised when the bodies of two Black men were found hanging about 50 miles and 10 days apart in California. But the family of one of those men announced Friday that he killed himself.
"On behalf of the family of Malcolm Harsch, unfortunately it seems he did take his own life," Najee Ali, a family spokesman told CNN."The Victorville Police Department officials released new video evidence to family members. The family wants to sincerely thank everyone for their support and prayers."The Department of Justice and the FBI were reviewing Harsch's death along with that of Robert L. Fuller, 24.
When Victorville Fire crews arrived, they saw bystanders performing CPR on Harsch, Victorville police spokeswoman Sue Jones said in a statement. Fire personnel then began advanced live support care protocol, but could not revive him after 20 minutes of effort, the statement said.Investigators did not find any evidence of foul play. An autopsy was conducted on June 12 which also did not find signs of foul play, the release said.
