Escambia Boy Dies After Accidental Hanging

January 24, 2013

An 10-year old Escambia County boy died after investigators say he accidentally hanged himself with a rope in a vacant lot.

Brandon L. Bickley was unresponsive when Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies arrived in the 6300 block of Denver Avenue. Witnesses said Bickley was playing with a rope tied to a tree in a vacant lot. After the accident, a neighborhood adult had cut the rope from the tree as other neighbors started CPR.

Bickley was transported to a local hospital where he later died from injuries.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office investigation found there was no foul play in the death, and the death has been ruled accidental.

    Accidents happen. Stop speculating. There’s nothing “fishy”. Goodness gracious.

    This is so horrible. I just can’t imagine what this family is going , it is enough to make people not want their kids out of their sight, but it sounds fishy especially in that neighborhood.
