Police Ruled his Death Suicide

“[Orlando, FL] Today, the Orlando Police Department released the following statement on social media regarding a death investigation in Barker Park early in the morning on Monday, October 5.

“We have seen social media posts regarding a man who was found deceased in Barker Park. This is a tragic case of suicide, and it is difficult for investigators to discuss details publicly, out of respect to the victim’s privacy, and that of his family. Officers have exhausted all leads and, at this time, there is no evidence of foul play or any kind of physical struggle. The medical examiner also investigated and ruled the cause of death as suicide. Our detectives continue to support the victim’s family where they can. We are keeping the victim, his family, and friends in our thoughts during this difficult time.”

We also wanted to provide the media some additional information in this case. The second document attached to this email is the medical examiner’s synopsis, ruling Mr. Nevan Baker’s cause of death as suicide, according to a statement posted online on October 9. 2020 by Orlando Urban News

This is awful! There needs to be a thorough investigation! I’ve known Nevan for years and talked with him this summer! My heart is broken! Lord have mercy.

I’m trying to put one of Nevan Baker’s family members in touch with Rep. Anna Eskamani because she wants to speak with them & try to help in any way she can. Can you help with that?
The family said Nevan was sitting on the porch charging his phone and then disappeared to be found the next morning beaten to the point you barely recognized his face a d hanging from a tree . MODERN DAY LYNCH IN ORLANDOOOO #nevanbaker

ORLANDO! Let’s use our voices to get more media coverage on the #nevanbaker lynching. A thorough investigation is in order and someone MUST be held accountable for squandering the life of yet another innocent black youth. He and his loved ones deserve justice. RT!!!

The police ruling Nevan Baker’s lynching a suicide leads me to one pressing question: how exactly could a man beat himself beyond recognition and then hang himself? Make it make sense, @OrlandoPolice! #JusticeForNevan
