A preliminary autopsy commissioned by the family of Michael Brown suggests that there was no sign of a struggle in his death, and that all but one of at least six gunshot wounds in his body were likely survivable, according to Dr. Michael Baden, a renowned New York forensic pathologist who performed a private autopsy after a Ferguson, Mo., police officer killed the unarmed, black 18-year-old.
Baden said in his preliminary autopsy that he believes Brown would not have been able to survive the bullet that hit at the top of his head and traveled through his brain.
Appearing Monday before reporters in the sanctuary of the Greater St. Mark Family Church in St. Louis, Baden and three of the family’s attorneys went through the diagram of Brown’s wounds that was released with the autopsy.

What they left out: none of the shots was in the back as claimed, thus meaning the outrage and rioting has been over nothing but a punk who got what he was looking for.
(See his “rap” lyrics for clarity on what he was looking for.)
Why not?
OK thanks.
The six shots would be the injury the officer inflicted during the encounter.
the case could be made that the officer did not try to kill him by his first four shots to the arm and that it was only when he kept coming that he feared for his life and aimed at his head
Brown will not vote straight Dems EVER again?
You must not know how dems vote.
really? i read they were all at a distance. nothing about 2 feet.
“So how many autopsy’s are going to be done before we get the facts?”....
Three, Holder will have the body cremated immediately following this last one.
If fired within 2 feet , there should also be 'powder burns' accompanying the entrance wound.
Autopsy might also show bruises on knuckles from the assault on the cop while he was in his car , or,
'St. Michael' had "hip-checked" the door , thus causeing a head injury to to police officer.
Also , understand that the police officer had just been assaulted in his car , alledgedly unprovoked , and was attempting an arrest of the 'perp' .
Baden noted that browns clothing, not provided to him, could contain powder traces.
Myself, I'm just holding Officer Wilson to the same standard he'd apply to everyone else. Meaning that if you or I shot an unarmed person six times and twice in the head then we'd be under arrest and we'd have already been arraigned and looking forward to 'splainin' ourselves in court. Support the cops all you want, but if you were to trade places with Officer Wilson you'd be up sh*t creek without a paddle and you know it.
Apparently Officer Wilson cannot say the same. Some reports indicated that his jaw had been broken.
The adrenaline in both bodies was pumping because of the struggle in the car.
The fact that the cop pulled the trigger at least six time doesn’t surprise me. The fact that he hit him six times does.
The fact it took six shots to drop an adrenaline pumped man doesn’t surprise me either.
I guess he wasn’t ‘down wi da shruggle’.
"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," Gray said.
Or it could be a deranged 300-lb criminal charging the officer with his head down like a football tackle.
I’m not surprised six shots were fired if he were charging because I would think that that was standard procedure, and depending on how the first few shots hit, he’s still charging.
