A Black man who died after he was hit by a police SUV in Mississippi was buried in a pauper's cemetery without his family's knowledge, even though his state ID was in his pocket, indicating a serious effort to cover up the manner of his death, the family's lawyer said Thursday.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump said in a statement that the body of Dexter Wade was exhumed Monday, and that a wallet subsequently found in the pocket of the jeans Wade had been buried in contained his state identification card with his home address, his credit card and a health insurance card.
