As suspicion continues to mount over the deaths of at least three Black men who were found hanged -- two in California and one in New York--the family of one of the men is calling for answers more than two weeks after he was found dead.
Malcolm Harsch, 38, was found hanging from a tree by a computer cord on May 31 by a passerby near a homeless encampment in Victorville, California, according to San Bernardino Sheriff's Department, which ruled his death a suicide.
“He always put other people before him, no matter what the situation may be,” said Richardson, who had connected with his brother when he was stationed by the U.S. Army in California in recent months and was making plans to see him just days before his death.
Richardson would not speculate on any possibilities between his brother’s death or that of Robert Fuller, 24, another Black man found hanging in Palmdale, California, 50 miles away.
In that case, the FBI and California Attorney General’s office have announced they will review the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department investigation into Fuller’s death, according to CBS Los Angeles.
