The FBI is set to begin an investigation concerning the demise of 18-year-old Ben Keita, who was discovered dangling from a tree close to his Lake Stevens home on Jan. 9.
FOX News reports that the FBI decided to launch an investigation after the death which was initially ruled a suicide was ruled ”undetermined”.
In changing the ruling the examiner noted that Keita had no history of depression or suicidal ideation, that the rope which asphyxiated him was strung unusually high — almost 50 feet off the ground — and that the area where his body was discovered had been recently searched by a canine unit before his body was discovered.
