BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. - Brooklyn Park police have closed their investigation into the hanging death of a 6-year-old girl without a clear finding of what happened.


Deputy Chief Mark Bruley says foul play isn't suspected in the death of Kendrea Johnson. She was found unconscious in a bedroom of her foster home with a jump rope around her neck Dec. 27.


Bruley says evidence points to suicide or an accident. He confirmed Thursday she'd been getting treatment for emotional problems, including suicidal thoughts. She'd been at the foster home since March.


Kendrea went into foster care in December 2013, after her mother allegedly abused drugs.


Kendrea's mother and grandmother have said they believe somebody killed her. Bruley says he understands their emotions. He says his detectives thoroughly investigated, calling the death "an absolute tragedy."

6 year old suicide?!?

Yeah. Fucked up if true but I don't know. I'm calling bullshit.

I had not hear of this case until now. Now, the, "mother," and, "grandmother," are interested.

Just because a parent is unfit to raise a child doesn't mean they don't love them. Personally, I wait until I see how far they're willing to go to get their act together enough to deserve custody of their kids.

This case reminds me of the Kendrick Johnson ordeal. I'll be surprised if the media doesn't react similarly.

And Oswald, your opinion is your own, voice it all you like, but if you answer my post specifically with any comments containing the words "Trayvon Martin" "*******" "Ghetto Thug Trash", I'm going to hunt you down and stab you in the arm with a fork. Redundancy gets irksome. I know you can be more creative than that.

What a cutie she was- so tragic. I can't imagine a six year old killing herself.

When they choose drugs, they are putting the children aside, and I think that says a lot.

It's so sad that this little girl felt bad enough to kill herself, and I have a hard time accepting the relatives' sudden interest.

Some thing or someone made her that upset and sad.

It could be for money. Yes, I'm skeptical when it comes to children.

In the pictures Soar added, both the mother and child look very nice and clean, and are dressed nicely for Summer.
