 * Sorry it took awhile but I saw your post and added the info. Someone added the photos themselves. In light of July 4 I stated that holding the government accountable is something proud Americans do, and it's important that my fellow citizens continue to do this. Some people elsewhere unfortunately can't do that without threats of harsh reprisals :( WhisperToMe (talk) 16:47, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I noticed the updates when I finally popped back in to look at adding the info. Appreciate y'all beating me to it; I mostly edit strictly text (awkward sentences, etc.) so any time I'm actually adding content it takes me a minute to look up everything. And word to the rest.

Millahnna and WhisperToMe. I found a picture of his torso on prison legal news (good site) and added it. There’s variations in color balance between these that could be tweaked. Could ask for help on Commons. I’m just disgusted with the DA and coroner and how they were able to put out a fake story that he had no burns because they kept these photos from everybody, even the people who did the report said they hadn’t seen them. I made some other edits too, --Technophant (talk) 02:10, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Feel free to check the Commons:Commons:Graphics lab which is specific to image editing WhisperToMe (talk) 03:04, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the suggesting. I knew it existed but it's hard to ind. I've started a request. here. Technophant (talk) 04:18, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Autopsy issues
The 100+ page report said that an autopsy was performed around noon the day after his death on a Sunday. Years later the ME submitted a final report. It seems like those photos were taken by a Homicide detective. There’s mention of toxicology and that only one skin sample was taken and not from where. Dr. Lew did not seem to have performed an honest or thorough examination.

The secrecy and lack of formal report seems to have led sources to say no autopsy was performed then no explanation on how one was released years later without an exhumation. I’ve made a few edits, but fixing this will take effort. But, it’s not accurate as it stands. Technophant (talk) 07:59, 29 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Two more things. The main prisoner witness, Hempstead, claimed that a guard had thrown out his Koran in the weeks prior to his death (New Yorker). Also, the prison rushed a cremation on the body so no proper autopsy could be performed later, just a final report.  19:56, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
