WATCH: Robert Fuller's Funeral Livestream
Mourners will tune in via livestream for the funeral of 24-year-old Robert Fuller, who was found hanging from a tree in Palmdale earlier this month.
The preliminary finding that Fuller's death was a likely suicide sparked an angry outcry from those who believe officials were too quick to jump to conclusions in a case that was not yet clear.
The funeral, which started at 1 p.m PST, is being held at the Living Stone Cathedral of Worship in Littlerock, CA.
