Results from a third autopsy conducted on the body of Kendrick
Johnson — the second performed at the behest of Johnson’s parents — have
been released, contradicting an earlier conclusion that the
17-year-old’s death was accidental. But the new autopsy’s impact is
likely to be minimal, as a lengthy federal investigation already
concluded there was no evidence of foul play.
Johnson, the Lowndes
High School sophomore whose body was found in a rolled-up gym mat
nearly six years ago, died from non-accidental blunt force trauma
between his neck and abdomen, the third autopsy concludes. That mirrors
the findings from the first autopsy, paid for by Kendrick’s parents,
Kenneth and Jackie Johnson, who once again hired William Anderson to
examine their son’s body.
The state medical examiner’s office found the cause of death to be
“positional asphyxia,” meaning he became trapped in a position that
caused him to suffocate. That finding led the Lowndes County Sheriff’s
Office to classify Johnson’s death as an accident. A review of the
autopsies commissioned by federal investigators determined the GBI’s
autopsy was more credible.
But the Johnsons have never accepted the official line.
“Kendrick KJ Johnson WAS MURDERED but we already knew that,” Jackie Johnson wrote on Facebook Friday morning.

First let me say I saw a picture of Kendrick Johnson after he died and I must say it does appear he was beat. This was not an after death thing when the body becomes swollen due to bodily fluids collecting in a certain area. So I agree that this was not accidental and there's alot more to this story and the original story is just a cover up. I really hope his parents keep fighting and some kind of investigation is launched. The original story doesn't even make sense and my heart just breaks for the family.
