A veteran apparently took their own life Jan. 27 at the parking garage at the VA Medical Center in Syracuse, New York, draped in a banner associated with transgender rights.

A witness said the veteran died by suicide wearing a body-length pink, light blue and white flag -- a symbol of transgender pride. According to Syracuse.com, which first reported the death, the veteran was a patient who had been discharged from the hospital's inpatient facility on Jan. 21.



Anne Bellows, a professor of food studies at Syracuse University, saw the veteran's body from a building across from the parking garage. She said she didn't see the person's face but was struck by how the flag floated "gently around the body."
