The family of teenage twin brothers Qaadir and Naazir Lewis are ready to accept that their deaths in March 2025 were a result of suicide. The bodies of the two brothers, 19, from Lawrenceville, Georgia, were discovered by hikers at the summit of Bell Mountain in Hiawessee on March 8, 2025.The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) initially suggested that their deaths could be a \u201cmurder suicide\u201d, that is to say that one of the brothers killed the other one before dying by suicide himself.The agency later said that \u201ccomprehensive investigation indicates the injuries causing their deaths were self-inflicted.\u201dOver a year since the tragic incident, the twins\u2019 aunt, Yasmine Brawner, stated on Facebook that the family has ultimately accepted the ruling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn our search for answers and clarity, we carefully reviewed the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) case files and retained two independent homicide investigators who thoroughly reviewed the evidence and investigative records. We also obtained independent autopsy reviews,\u201d she wrote.\u201cWhile this has been incredibly painful to accept, we remain committed to honoring Naazir and Qaadir\u2019s memory, promoting mental health awareness, and helping others know they are not alone.\u201dBrawner added that the family wanted to \u201csincerely thank everyone\u201d who supported them with GoFundMe donations as well as \u201c continued love, prayers, and kindness.\u201d\u201cYour contributions helped us cover burial expenses, obtain independent autopsy reviews, retain two independent homicide investigators to carefully review the case files, and support mental health counseling for our family during this difficult time,\u201d she wrote. \u201cWe are deeply grateful for every act of support and compassion shown to us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
