Crump also invoked Mississippi&#8217;s history, including the murder of Emmett Till, in explaining the family&#8217;s decision to commission an independent autopsy outside the state.<br \/>\nInvestigators have said they don&#8217;t currently see evidence of foul play, and no official cause of death has been released.
