Nevan Baker Found Hanging, Police Rule Death A Suicide But Family Disagrees
Over the summer, there were a number of disturbing reports about Black people, primarily men, found hanging from trees in public spaces. Investigations would later determine that they were all victims of suicide, however, there were activists who believed that not all of the cases were the results of people taking their own lives. These incidents are once again being revisited after a report circulated that 22-year-old Nevan Baker had hung himself from a tree in an Orlando, Florida park on October 5. Authorities have labeled his death as a suicide, but his family doesn’t agree.
According to multiple reports, Nevan Baker’s family insists that he wasn’t suicidal. Attorney Ben Crump has come forward to add a few more details regarding Baker’s death that add suspicion. “Nevan Baker was found HANGING from a tree in Orlando. @OrlandoPolice quickly ruled his death a suicide but now we learn his hands were tied, teeth missing and face bruised,” Crump tweeted. “We demand transparency and a comprehensive investigation so we know exactly what happened! #JusticeForNevan.”
Baker’s grandmother, who he lived with, told reporters, “He would’ve never walked this far without his ID, so I know that somebody did something to my grandson.” She called him a “gentle soul” and added, “He wouldn’t kill himself.”
On Monday (October 12), the police department released a statement saying, “While we are awaiting the final report from the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office, an agency independent of the Orlando Police Department, their initial findings ruled the death a suicide.”

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”
François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.
François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.
The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.
“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
