This is how the Coroner explained away abrasions on all those areas, exactly the areas you would expect to be involved in hostile male—male interactions here is what the world's authority on insect and ant bites said (sent today to me) My comments are in blue. It was a lynching. No doubt about it. If it were not considered a lynching, it would certainly be murder, not suicide. a key piece of evidence is bruises on his face—they are exactly what you expect from being lynched but not suicide—who beats up their face before saying, what the hell, i will hang myself? Ant stings to a corpse would not cause any type of bruising. Bruising in the human body is caused by the body's reaction to the venom of the ant sting and, in this case, a dead body cannot have a reaction immunologically based. So that pretty much rules out bruises from stinging ants. Incidentally the only stinging ants in the area would of merit are Pogonomyrmex badius, the Florida harvester ant, and they don't climb above ground, they stay on the surface the ground where they collect seeds. Even if, by some wild imagination, a person was stung by ants, in this case the harvester ants, they still would not have bruises. I've spent much of my life studying these ants and, yes, they hurt and, yes, they can cause slight swelling, but never bruising. so the coroner explains it away by saying bites from the red ant on the corpse caused the bruises—evidence being a few ants seen running around Ant bites would be so superficial that, at most, they could only scratch the surface and would not cause any deep bruis
