    CLEVELAND, Mississippi (WAPT) — Classmates of a Delta State University student found hanged on campus are paying their respects.

They held a vigil and balloon release Thursday night in remembrance of Trey Reed.

The events came hours after the Cleveland Police Department announced Reed’s death was ruled a suicide.

The 21-year-old was found in a tree Monday morning near the pickleball courts in the middle of the university campus.

Students say they’re thinking of Reed’s family during this difficult time.

An initial report from the Bolivar County coroner said there was no sign of assault or foul play.

Final toxicology results may take two to four weeks to complete.
