   The San Bernadino County Sheriff's Department said Saturday   
   deputies are investigating the death of a Black man found dead   
   hanging from a tree in Victorville after push back from his   
   family.   
      
   Investigators confirm Malcolm Harsch, 38, was found hanging from   
   a tree near a homeless encampment in Victorville on May 31.   
      
   The San Bernardino Sheriff's Department made the preliminary   
   determination that his death was a suicide and said that no foul   
   play was involved. However deputies say they are still   
   investigating the case.   
      
   Harsch's relatives are doubtful he took his own life.   
      
   "He didn't seem to be depressed to anyone who truly knew him,"   
   Harsch's family told reporters. "Everyone who knew our brother   
   was shocked to hear that he allegedly hung himself and don't   
   believe it to be true. The explanation of suicide does not seem   
   plausible."   
      
   About 50 miles away in Palmdale, protests and vigils are being   
   held over the death of Robert Fuller, a Black man who was found   
   dead this week hanging from a tree.   
      
   City and county leaders are now calling for an independent   
   investigation into his death, after law enforcement said they   
   suspected suicide, but family and friends don’t believe that   
   explanation.   
      
   A virtual town hall hosted by LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva   
   is scheduled for Monday afternoon from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., where   
   residents of Palmdale can discuss Fuller's death and the   
   investigation.
