After body of Javion Magee is found, suburban Chicago family demands investigation
CHICAGO (CBS) — The family of a man from Aurora who was found dead under a tree in North Carolina is demanding answers after 21-year-old Javion Magee was found with a rope around his neck in Henderson, North Carolina, on September 11.
He was a truck driver on the job. A surveillance video showed him buying rope at a Walmart.
Magee's family does not believe he took his own life and is demanding a full investigation.
"The manner of the cause of death has not been determined. So for any suggestion that it's a suicide, anybody stating that it was a suicide will be grossly premature," said family attorney Harry Daniels.
"If this moment can spark anything, I would, if I can tap into him, I would say he wants this country to come together," said his father, Corey Magee.
The family is still waiting for the medical examiner's report to release the cause of death.
