Suicide leaves grieving Stratford family with questions

STRATFORD — Edith Bell said her son’s body was still warm when she found him hanging from a tree in her backyard on Jan. 8. About an hour earlier, she said, 20-year-old Demarius Bell came into her room and they briefly spoke. She said that when he left, he closed the door — which she always leaves open. Feeling like something was off, she said, she went to check on him. Edith Bell first thought Demarius had left, since he did not live at her house on Canaan Road. But then she found her son’s cellphone and shoes. Confused, she checked outside and found him. She said she immediately ran to him and screamed for help. “I thought I was dreaming,” Edith recalled of that night.
