Tyre Nichols' Autopsy Confirms Fatal Head Injuries from Police Beating

An autopsy report has confirmed that Tyre Nichols died due to blunt force injuries to his head after being brutally beaten by a group of Memphis police officers during a routine traffic stop. The report also found that Nichols had a blood alcohol concentration well below the legal limit for driving in Tennessee, despite insinuations from the police that he had been pulled over for driving while intoxicated. The death has fueled a national outcry and drawn scathing criticism over how frequently law enforcement in Memphis used excessive force and intimidation tactics. Five former Memphis officers have pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and an array of other charges in connection with the death of Nichols, while a sixth former officer, who shot a Taser at Nichols, will not be criminally charged and is cooperating with the investigation.
