Frederick Jermaine Carter’s Death Ruled Suicide

I have received numerous inquiries and many comments regarding Frederick Jermaine Carter’s death. And just as you, I wanted answers… I wanted the truth. And yes, in posting the initial picture and using words such as “lynching”, “racial crime”, and “hate”; I wanted to stir emotions and urge immediate closure to this case. I truly intended no disrespect towards Frederick Carter’s family as the picture that was available online had stated “an unidentified black male was found hanging in a tree”. However from a family member’s comment here, I decided to remove the picture from my blog. I intended on waiting for the autopsy report to become available so as not to further any unrest or cause the family any additional pain.

As reported by the Associated Press, December 07, 2010 – 10:28 am:


JACKSON, Miss. — Preliminary autopsy results indicate a black man found hanging from a tree in Mississippi killed himself, and authorities said Tuesday there’s no validity to an NAACP leader’s allegation that someone else was involved.

Associated Press - December 9, 2010 5:24 PM ET

GREENWOOD, Miss. (AP) - A civil rights group based in Memphis, Tenn., is looking into the hanging death of a black man in Leflore County, Miss.

The body of Frederick Jermaine Carter was found hanging from a tree Dec. 3. Officials say a preliminary autopsy report indicated Carter killed himself.

The Greenwood Commonwealth reports more information is being sought by Wendol Lee, president of Operation Help Civil Rights Group. Lee says black residents in Greenwood and Leflore County petitioned his group. The local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has raised questioned about the death.
