The FBI and California Department of Justice announced Monday that they will monitor the investigation of Robert Fuller’s death.


“It is in our interest to make sure we leave no rock unturned,” said Los Angeles county sheriff Alex Villanueva in a news conference obtained by the Guardian. Fuller’s death was ruled a suicide after he was found hanging from a tree near the Palmdale, California, city hall on June 10.

The FBI and DOJ announced that they will be reviewing the death of Fuller as well as the hanging death of Malcolm Harsh, which happened 10 days earlier in San Bernardino, California, according to CNN.

Harsh was found hanging from a tree in front of the Victorville public library on May 31 in San Bernardino, per the Guardian. Harsh had supposedly been living at a nearby homeless encampment, when camp residents cut him down and attempted to assist him when first responders arrived. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office did not recover evidence to suggest foul play, according to the Guardian.

“Our department has been in contact with the California Department of Justice and the FBI and our intent is to be able to share information and details so they can compare also to the Palmdale incident,” said San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Public Information Officer Jodi Miller to CNN.

The county medical examiner has deferred the decision to label the deaths as a suicide despite preliminary findings, per the Guardian. “We felt better that we should look into it a little bit more carefully and deeply, just considering all the circumstances at play,” said Chief County Medical Examiner Jonathan Lucas to the Guardian.

Los Angeles County Homicide Capt. Kent Wegener told CNN that only the rope, the contents of Fuller’s pockets, and a backpack he was wearing was found at the scene of Fuller’s death. Officials are investigating Fuller’s medical history, analyzing his phone and looking for surveillance video in the area, according to CNN.

Both cases are waiting for a toxicology report and further investigation. “My brother was not suicidal,” Fuller’s sister, Diamond Alexander, told a crowd at a rally in Palmdale on Saturday, per the Guardian, “My brother was a survivor.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
