Michael Brown was shot in the head and chest multiple times, according to Mary Case, the St. Louis County medical examiner.
While Case declined to comment further, citing the ongoing investigation into Browns death, another person familiar with the countys investigation told The Washington Post that Brown had between six and eight gunshot wounds and was shot from the front.
In addition, Brown had marijuana in his system when he was shot and killed by a police officer on Aug. 9 in Ferguson, according to this person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation.
The report from Cases office was released to the St. Louis County prosecutors office on Friday night but has not been made public. This report is part of the countys official investigation into the shooting, but it is one of three autopsies being conducted.
Browns family and attorneys also requested its own autopsy, which was carried out by Michael Baden, a medical examiner who released preliminary details from his review on Monday.
In anticipation that Brown would be potentially vilified by the results of the drug test, conduct as a routine part of the autopsy, protesters have consistently insisted that Officer Wilson should be required to submit one as well.
What was in the system of that cop when he was pumping bullets into that boys body? asked a protest leader, shouting into a megaphone, during a rally on Friday afternoon.
Residents and protesters have noted that allegations of marijuana use have been used in the past by some in an attempt to disparage the character of shooting victims, including in the Trayvon Martin case.

since theyre not allowed downtown, theres always the burbs where whitey lives and has stores...
If this ever enters the burbs it will be a slaughter - of the rioters.
I wonder about that too. Marijuana use doesn’t typically lead to aggressive physical behavior. If it was laced with something like PCP wouldn’t that have shown up on the toxicology report?
The big news here is that the witnesses lied, he was shot in the front. The marijuana in his system is a pretty meaningless finding since pot stays in your system for over a month if you smoke it regularly.
Just a wild guess here; donut glaze and coffee.
There is at least some percentage (and possibly a not insignificant one) of people who are absolutely not interested in facts and reason.
We call them "Community Organizers" and their acolytes (or, "useful idiots")
Even on FR, there are people who think that as significant facts are known, that this will some cause many of these people to pause and consider. It is, at best naive to think that, and at worse, destructive and counterproductive.
Probably Ryan Julison who wrote the tripe for the Trayvon Martin travelling gravy train.
Notice how the facts have destroyed the original claim that Brown was a great kid with no problems, ready to start “college” and presumably discover a cure for cancer? A picture is now emerging of Brown as a pot-smoking, vulgar, thuggish, thieving bully.
The officer was aiming for the central body mass, because in a situation like that, you really can’t aim for specific parts. His shots were a little to the side - I read somewhere that Brown had twisted the officer’s hand or thumb when he (Brown) was trying to get the officer’s gun - and he was still aiming for the center when Brown put his head down and charged.
Charging like that is a very common fighting method for super-sized people.
that is bs...we don’t execute thugs here. They do in many Islamic countries. Cop had pepper spray or taser? Why kill him?
Must've been doing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtling when he met his demise ....
Fixed it
I know. They act like if they pretend he's innocent, he IS!
The looting is just an excuse for free s#it while the MSM plays stupid. That is NOT how a civil, democratic society settles its differences, but we ultimately foot the bill for all the emergency services just so they can raise Hell.
THEN they turn around and whine -- they have 'food deserts' because every business trying to stay in business LEAVES!
You obviously didn't get the memo. Because he was black, silly.
You’re on the wrong website for magical thinking like that. A lone cop doesn’t use pepper spray or a tazer on a 6’4” 292 lb. crazed thug who has already physically assaulted him. He would be stupid (and probably dead) if he did. Brown wasn’t alone either.
Fat, stoned and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

I guess the saying is true, that it takes a lot to bring down a bull elephant..I wonder, does this autopsy show if Brown’s arms were up surrendering like some of these BS witnesses have stated..if the autopsy shows that his arms were NOT up yet again these witnesses would be proven liars
