Autopsy Shows Michael Brown Was Struck at Least 6 Times
A private, family-requested autopsy shows that Michael Brown was shot at least six times — twice in the head — with all of the bullets striking him in the front.
The report was made available to The New York Times on Sunday.
One of the bullets entered the top of Mr. Brown’s skull, suggesting his head was bent forward when it struck him and caused a fatal injury, according to Dr. Michael M. Baden, the former chief medical examiner for the City of New York. Dr. Baden, who flew to Missouri on Sunday at the family’s request to conduct the autopsy, said it was probably the last of the bullets to hit him.
Mr. Brown was also shot four times in the right arm, Dr. Baden said.
The rounds did not appear to have been fired from very close range because no gunshot powder residue was present on his body. However, that determination could change if it turns out that there is gunshot residue on Mr. Brown’s clothing, to which Dr. Baden did not have access.
Local officials have completed an autopsy, but have not made the results public. The Justice Department said Sunday that it was also planning an autopsy in the case.
Mr. Brown, an 18-year-old African-American, was shot and killed Aug. 9 after a confrontation with a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo., a St. Louis suburb.
