BLADENBORO, N.C. (AP) — A prosecutor says the FBI is looking into the hanging death of a black North Carolina teen after his family questioned the official ruling that he killed himself.
Seventeen-year-old Lennon Lacy was found hanging by a dog leash and a belt from a swing set in a trailer park in August. The state medical examiner ruled it a suicide, based on reports from law enforcement and a county coroner. That coroner says he now questions if it was a suicide because of so many unanswered questions.
Bladen County District Attorney Jon David confirmed to The Associated Press on Friday that an FBI agent has been assigned the case.
The state chapter of the NAACP is organizing a march Saturday in Bladenboro.

young black male
dating recently separated older white woman
assumption that jilted ex should have been the focus of the investigation
and something strange about him having on shoes that weren't his when found...
...yeah, not sure what's taking so long for an investigation as there seemed to be motive
and sketchy details/facts on the scene
I love the fact that science keeps outing these stories
coroner ruling homocide, etc...

Yeah, that's pretty much the thick of it. And, you know said ex has probably left the area by now. So, I'm glad the FBI is involved.

i don't know if this is the same one but i've heard about like 2 or 3 hangings recently, as in, in the past year.
one was at a playground and one had something to do with an interracial relationship. like they're really on some primative thinking there. mfs don't know slavery is over. black and white.
