The death of a black man whose body was found hanging Sunday, June 28 in Lewis Morris Park in Morris Township has prompted a response from the Morris County prosecutor after an online petition and other social media suggested the death was not a suicide, as had been determined.
The man was identified as Amanuel Amani Kildea, 20, of Long Valley.
Prosecutor Frederic Knapp updated a statement he had issued on July 1 that said, in part, "There is no cause to believe there is any criminality involved. The Morris County Medical Examiner has determined the manner of death as suicide."

In a new statement from Knapp, released Friday afternoon, July 3, the prosecutor said, Contrary to the statements made in social media and elsewhere, the investigation remains open and has not concluded. Our initial statement by this office was intended to preliminarily and expeditiously inform the public that we and multiple other law enforcement agencies... have been working with the Morris County Prosecutors Office Major Crimes Unit to investigate the circumstances of Mr. Kildeas death. As of this time, no evidence of a criminal act has yet been found, however, our efforts to determine what occurred remain very active.

We have followed and continue to follow all investigative leads and will go where the evidence takes us.

According to Morris County Park Police, officers responded to the Sugarloaf section of the park at 2:47 p.m. on June 28 after a park visitor called police and reported the body.
