Colin Kaepernick Funds Independent Autopsy for Deceased Delta State Student Demartravion Reed
Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick has stepped forward to fund an independent autopsy for Delta State University student Demartravion “Trey” Reed, whose body was discovered Monday morning hanging from a tree on campus. This development comes as the Mississippi State Medical Examiner’s Office officially ruled Reed’s death a suicide, following an initial examination by the Bolivar County Coroner’s Office that found no evidence of foul play.
Kaepernick’s intervention aims to provide a deeper investigation into the circumstances surrounding Reed’s tragic passing. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, representing the Reed family, confirmed Kaepernick’s support, stating, “Trey’s death evoked the collective memory of a community that has suffered a historic wound over many, many years and many, many deaths. Peace will come only by getting to the truth. We thank Colin Kaepernick for supporting this grieving family and the cause of justice and truth.”
The independent autopsy will be funded through Kaepernick’s ‘Know Your Rights Camp Autopsy Initiative.’ This gesture has garnered widespread applause from sports fans and the public, highlighting Kaepernick’s continued commitment to social justice and community support beyond his football career.
