Raleigh Man Found Hanging Under Investigation | Durham News

Raleigh police are investigating the tragic death of a man found hanging downtown on August 15th, initially treating it as a suicide with no signs of foul play. Life-saving efforts were attempted at the scene. The North Carolina Medical Examiner’s Office is leading the official probe, as standard for such cases. A disturbing online post has sparked public concern, prompting a city council member to urge calm and trust in law enforcement while promising more updates. State data reveals nearly 1,600 suicides in North Carolina last year, with firearms most common among African-American men — yet hanging accounts for over 20% of all suicides. Authorities say the investigation is ongoing, and they’ll share more as details emerge. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
