Independent pathologist hired by Brown family examined his body and noted one wound to the head

• Police killings amount to crimes against humanity, report finds

Attorneys for the family of Andrew Brown, a Black man killed by deputies last week, said on Tuesday an independent autopsy showed he was shot five times, including in the back of the head.

It was a kill shot to the back of the head," one attorney, Ben Crump, told reporters. It went into the base of the neck, bottom of the skull and got lost in his brain. That was the cause of death."
