L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva and other officials provided updates on the investigation into the death of Robert Fuller, a Black man who was found hanging from a tree in Palmdale.

Authorities said Monday that the cause of death of Robert Fuller, who was found hanging from a tree in Palmdale, has been deferred pending further investigation as the state attorney general sends investigators to assist in determining whether the young Black man died by suicide or was the victim of foul play.

Sheriff’s homicide investigators plan to survey the area for surveillance video, conduct a forensic analysis of the rope used in the man’s death and research his medical history locally, as well as in Arizona and Nevada, where he had lived in the past, said Capt. Kent Wegener. Investigators are also planning to interview Fuller’s case worker with the Department of Social Services, though they did not elaborate on why he had one, as well as his family and the witness who found him in the park.

“They’re gonna stick to it ‘til they get to the truth of what happened,” Sheriff Alex Villanueva said at a news briefing. County Medical Examiner-Coroner Dr. Jonathan Lucas said investigators initially thought Fuller’s death was consistent with a suicide, but “we felt it prudent to roll that back and continue to look deeper.” Coroner’s officials have ordered toxicology tests.Protesters stage a sit-in at Palmdale City Hall as organizers demand justice for Robert Fuller.

I’m sorry but since when do black men commit suicide by banging themselves from trees? Isn’t that super rare? And in California? I would be interested in suicide stats in CA ☹️

Question: No stool or chair, how did he commit suicide by hanging?

NO ONE hangs themselves in public.

So essentially public outcry is the only reason they bothering to investigate 😡

The cameras...no way this happened where it did and no camera recorded it. If cameras were off then it's a corroboration.
