The family of a Lakota man whose death at West Point Military Academy in New York was ruled an accident still wants an independent investigation into the suspicious incident.

According to the Army, Alan Two Crow, a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of South Dakota, fell to his death last summer. But family members say there are unanswered questions about how the death and how investigation was handled.

Search teams failed to find Two Crow for 10 weeks. Three civilians acting on their own located his body within hours.
