Body Found Hanging in Jackson | Jackson News

A chilling discovery in Jackson, Mississippi — a woman’s body found hanging from a tree behind a vacant home — has sparked an urgent investigation. Tasia Fortune, 29, was identified by Hinds County coroner; her family has been notified as authorities conduct an autopsy and probe the circumstances. Neighbors reportedly found her, raising questions about how long she’d been there. The case echoes last year’s tragic death of a Black student at Delta State University, also found hanging, with no autopsy results released yet. With historical weight and community grief mounting, police say they’re withholding details until more is known — but the silence only deepens the unease.
