Gray’s autopsy reveals he died from a high impact injury which broke his spine.

The injury, similar to those suffered in shallow-water diving, was most likely caused when the van suddenly decelerated.

Marilyn J. MosbyAutopsyMakes Statement0 Comments

Gray’s autopsy report is leaked to the media. The Maryland medical examiner and prosecutor’s office states they had refused to release the report. There are no details as to who the leak happened or who is responsible but the State’s Attorney condemns the leak. Mosby:

I want to make it very clear that the state’s attorney’s office did not release the Freddie Gray autopsy report. As I have repeatedly stated, I strongly condemn anyone with access to trial evidence who has leaked information prior to the resolution of this case.
