I’m not seeing any mainstream media coverage. They’re trying to pass this off as a suicide.

    Yup.

    Dude had defensive wounds like bruises and a broken arm. Anyways, it’s definitely suicide, so we don’t have to look into it any further /s

        I think they were joking about that like people say someone committed suicide with two shots to the back of the head. But thanks for posting that article, it does say the coroner didn’t find any evidence of assault so far.

          Nah, there’s a pile of misinformation circulating on social media claiming that the deceased had broken arms / legs / bruises / etc.

          People unthinkingly gobble it up because it fits their world view. Farther down in the comments here you can find people already claiming that it’s a cover-up / conspiracy because the Coroner’s Statement (he’s black BTW) doesn’t jive with what they want to believe.

            Maybe but let’s wait for a reliable source before citing somethong transparently aligned, unqualified to know what a defensive wound looks like, and known for lying-like a coroner.

            I genuinely cannot think of a less reliable source.

            The comment you are referring to is unedited and ends with a /s Commonly used as a tag for sarcasm in case they thought someone may mistake it for being serious.
