SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback will pay for an independent autopsy for a student found hanging from a tree on the campus of a Mississippi university. Demartravion "Trey" Reed's body was found at 7:05 a.m. on Monday. Sept. 15., according to campus police at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi.

Investigators said there was no evidence of foul play and officials ruled the student's death as a suicide. However, Reed's family has called for an independent autopsy.

"We will seek answers independently from Delta State University and from the coroner's office and, if need be, independent from the state coroner's office because we need answer as to what happened to Trey Reed," said family attorney Vaness J. Jones in a statement reported by USA Today.
