The initial autopsy report on Michael Brown indicates he was shot at least six times, including twice in the head by Ferguson, Missouri cop, Darren Wilson on Saturday, August 9. One of the bullets struck the stop of Brown's head, suggesting he was bent forward, according to News 4. Four shots hit him in the arm. All of the bullet wounds were from the front.
One of the bullets shattered his right eye, traveled through his face, exited his jaw and re-entered his collarbone, according to the autopsy.
Dr. Michael Baden conducted the autopsy at the request of Brown's family. No gunpowder residue was found on Brown's body, which might indicate he was not shot at close range. Baden said he would need to examine the 18-year-old's clothes before making a final determination.
“It raises the same questions we had before,” said the family's attorney Anthony Gray.“The bullet marks on the body are consistent with the witness statements. To have a shot that’s at a 90-degree angle from the top of his skull to the bottom of his chin, almost vertical, that sounds like an officer standing over him."
Witnesses have indicated that Brown was 35 feet away, with his hands in the air, facing Wilson when the fatal shots were fired.
