24 November 2014 Via e-mail to Assistant Prosecutor St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Office 100 South Central Avenue Clayton, Missouri 63105 Re: — Death of Michael Brown Dear Prosecutor Enclosed is a copy of my initial autopsy report that you requested. My conclusions are based on my re-autopsy findings of August 16; on my review of Dr. autopsy report that I received on October 22; and on the police and medical examiner photographs, X-rays and microscopic slides from the first autopsy, and my examination of Mr. Brown's clothing, all of which I saw for the first time on November 12, the day before my Grand Jury testimony, and which I continue to review. I have not yet been permitted to have access to requested police crime scene photographs and reports, to the results of the forensic examination of the patrol car, to the Christian Hospital EMS report of Mr. Brown and the emergency room examination 24 November 2014 Page -2- of Officer Wilson, to the ballistics information, to the results of the autopsy hand swabs and fingernail clipp g examinations, and to witness statements. For 25 years as medical examiner, 25 years as forensic pathologist, for the Police, and as the forensic pathologist member of the Correction Commission Medical Review Board, I have been involved with the investigation of deaths that occur in police encounters and all deaths that occur in jails and prisons in The above requested information is the usual information obtained to be able to correlate the autopsy findings with other information that is necessary to permit full medical evaluation of deaths such as that of Mr. Brown. Yours very truly, MMB:ph Enclosure (1)
