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 Brown’s death, another person familiar with the county’s 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 Case’s office was released to the St. Louis County prosecutor’s office on Friday night but has not been made public. This report is part of the county’s official investigation into the shooting, but it is one of three autopsies being conducted

Yeah, unlike alcohol, pot is detectable in your system for a month or more.
He may well have been stoned out of his mind, but we'd need to be told the toxicity levels before that could be determined.
From my reading of various accounts of what happened, the shooting may well have been justified, but trying to tie this to pot is silly without more information.
I agree. Brown would have to have been mellow if he had pot in his system. Thus, it may follow that if he wasn’t mellow, the cop may have been the one dead.
Agree, but if it was a factor in this incident it will still be in the system.
I don’t agree.
You’re assuming the effects of the drug is only during the high.
The effects continue well after the high is gone and drug is out of the system.
In fact, one can argue that the possibility for anger and irritation and a violent action is greater when the drug has been out of the system for a while.
Then it won't be a legal factor. it won't be allowed in any trial, so it's meaningless.
Fair enough.
It is true, though.
If a multi drug user also uses pot, who is surprised
