Coroner says man fatally shot himself in the chest while handcuffed behind his back

​The release of an autopsy report in Louisiana is raising new questions about the unusual shooting death of a 22-year-old black male who died earlier this year in a police car while his hands were cuffed behind his back. RT reported earlier this year that police in Iberia Parish, LA said Victor White III died in early March after he fatally shot himself while handcuffed in the back of a squad car. White had reportedly been apprehended for possession of drugs, and was searched no fewer than two times before being cuffed and placed in the backseat of a police vehicle. According to the police report from the time, White uncovered a gun while in the car and shot himself in the back. According to a coroner's report just recently obtained by NBC News, however, White died from a gunshot wound that entered his body in the chest. Nevertheless, Dr. Carl Ditch wrote in the report that White was capable of firing the shot while cuffed "due to his body habitus" and has agreed to rule the death a suicide. Hannah Rappleye, a reporter for NBC, compared the coroner's story with the official police report from March in an article published by the outlet this week. "White was shot in the front, not the back. The bullet entered his right chest and exited under his left armpit. White was left-handed, according to family members. According to the report, the forensic pathologist found gunshot residue in the wound, but not the sort ofstipplingthat a close-range shot can sometimes produce. He also found abrasions on White's face," she wrote. "And yet, despite the contradictions - and even though White's hands were never tested for gunpowder residue - the Iberia Parish coroner still supported the central contention of the initial police statement issued back in March." "Although the decedent was handcuffed at the time with his hands to his back, due to his body habitus, the pathologist and investigators agree that he would have been able to manipulate the weapon to the point where the contact entrance wound was found," Ditch wrote. Comment: You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means: Body habitus Body habitus (or "bodily habitus") is the medical term for physique, and is defined as either endomorphic (overweight), ectomorphic (underweight) or mesomorphic (normal weight). In this sense, habitus can be understood as the physical and constitutional characteristics of an individual, especially as related to the tendency to develop a certain disease.[6] For example, "Marfanoid bodily habitus". - From Wikipedia How do you know when doctor's are lying? They start using non-sensical jargon. Everyone nods sagely and just accepts the bullshit. Which this is bullshit. The deceased's father, Rev. Victor White II, told NBC that he had his doubts about the coroner's report. "You can't make me understand," he said. "You can't make me understand how my son took his left hand, when he was handcuffed behind the back, and shot himself. I don't believe a thing they're saying at this point."
