In 2015. This is wild.

Obviously, if this is a homicide then it is horrific, but from what I have read so far, they haven't even ruled out suicide yet, so calling this a "lynching" in a thread title is a bit premature.

Only in Mississippi...

EDIT: Okay, I agree with Pink Ranger. The cause of death isn't known.

@Pink Ranger: Noted. Can a mod change the title to "Man Found Hanging"?

Yeah it could be suicide.

Not to hijack the thread but my ex-wife's father did himself in like this. From a tree. So it happens.

No I definitely hear you. I got carried away drawing my own conclusions with him being last seen at a casino and it being Mississippi.

All the more reason it might be suicide, he could have gambled everything he had.

He murdered a woman. He got paroled. Maybe it was a revenge killing.

It sounds like that may be the case, an episode of vigilante justice.
