black-to-the-bones:

He was only 27.

Edward Crawford, the man featured in the iconic Ferguson protest photograph throwing a tear gas canister, was found dead overnight, his father said. Police say it appears the death was from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. 

He has become the symbol of fighting for justice for so many people and now we lost him. RIP.

Crawford is the third Ferguson activist to be found dead this same way.
