A piece of new information has emerged from the on-going investigation on the brutal murder of Ahmaud Arbery, as autopsy revealed that he died from 2 shotgun wounds, and suffered a third, during the struggle with Travis McMichael, TMZ reports.
According to the report obtained from TMZ, the Glynn County Coroner conducted the autopsy back on Feb. 24 — the day after Ahmaud’s death and found 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery died from 2 close-range shotgun blasts in his chest, and x-rays showed 2 separate groups of buckshot pellets.
It also said he had a graze wound on his right wrist. In the video leaked last week, one can clearly hear 3 shots fired during the confrontation.
The autopsy confirms Ahmaud was hit by all 3.
The coroner, Edmund Donoghue, noted cause of death was “multiple shotgun wounds” and described the manner of death as “homicide.”
Tests also showed Arbery had no alcohol or drugs in his system.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigations’ report, dated April 1, includes a description of what Ahmaud had on during the fatal shooting. He was wearing a white t-shirt, tan cargo shorts, gray athletic shoes and 2 tan bandanas … all of which were bloodstained.
Those clothing items match the latest video released which shows someone, purportedly Arbery, walking through an unfinished under-construction home … minutes before the confrontation with McMichael.
