The body of 27‑year‑old Tasia Fortune was discovered hanging from a tree on the grounds of an abandoned house in Jackson in August. Police investigators say the woman was already dead before the body was positioned.
The abandoned property, located in the city of Jackson, was the site of the discovery. Authorities found the body in a state that indicated the hanging had not been staged after death.
Police officials confirmed that the body was dead prior to being placed on the tree. They are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death.
Jackson is the capital of Mississippi and has a history of abandoned properties in its outskirts. The incident has drawn attention to the safety concerns in such areas.
Further details about the investigation, including potential leads or suspects, have not yet been released by law enforcement.
