Colin Kaepernick will be covering the cost for a second and independent autopsy of Demartravion “Trey” Reed, a student at Delta State University who was found hanging from a tree last Monday.

Kaepernick’s Know Your Rights Camp Autopsy Initiative provides free of charge second autopsies for those whose family or friends have died in police custody or under suspicious circumstances. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who was hired by Reed’s family, said that the autopsy will be conducted as soon as Reed’s body is released by the state medical examiner.

Reed’s family raised concerns about ‘incomplete information’

“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,” Crump said in a Friday press release.

He added that Reed’s family had raised concerns after “receiving conflicting accounts and incomplete information about the circumstances of his death.”

The family has also asked law enforcement to release video footage in connection with Reed’s death. Delta State’s Director of Public Safety said on Wednesday that it was investigating security footage, according to Mother Jones.

“Trey’s family deserves answers they can trust,” Crump wrote in a statement. “We cannot accept rushed conclusions when the stakes are this high.”

What is the latest update on the investigation regarding Trey Reed’s death?

The Mississippi Medical Examiner’s Office ruled Reed’s death as a suicide on Thursday. It found that “the cause of death to be hanging and the manner of death as suicide,” according to the Cleveland Police Department.

The final toxicology reports are currently pending and may take two to four weeks to complete, WREG reported. All files and investigative materials were turned over to the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for review as part of the investigation.

Reed’s family has expressed concern regarding the way in which law enforcement and the university has communicated about his death. Media outlets started reporting on Reed’s death prior to the family’s knowledge of the incident. As Blavity reported, Reed’s family was originally told that he had been found in his dorm room, only to find out later that he had been found hanging from a tree at the center of campus.
