Michael Brown \\\'shot multiple times\\\'
BBC | Monday, 18 August 2014
The unarmed black teenager killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, on 9 August was shot at least six times, including twice in the head, a medical examiner has said.
Dr Michael Baden was hired to perform a second, independent autopsy by the family of Michael Brown, 18.
The family have called for the arrest of the officer who killed Mr Brown.
Mr Brown's death has sparked days of unrest and clashes between protesters and police in the St Louis suburb.
The officer who shot Mr Brown, Darren Wilson, has been suspended with pay since the shooting, and Mr Brown's family have called for his arrest and prosecution.
As the unrest, marked by a crackdown by armed police wielding tear gas and rubber bullets, has continued, Sunday Missouri Governor Jay Nixon ordered the National Guard to the town to "help restore peace and order".
Dr Baden, a veteran of the New York City medical examiner's office and nationally prominent forensic pathologist, said in a news conference Monday that his preliminary findings could answer the family's basic questions, including how many times he was shot and if he suffered.
