Colorado Public Radio: New information from the grand jury investigation into the death of 23-year-old Elijah McClain prompted the Adams County coroner to amend the official autopsy report, potentially giving prosecutors a stronger case to charge the three police officers and two paramedics involved in his violent arrest with manslaughter.

In 2019, a contract pathologist for the Adams County coroner conducted McClain’s autopsy seven days after he died and found both the cause and manner of death to be “undetermined” —  rather than a homicide.

After multiple attempts of trying to obtain that amended autopsy, CPR News on Thursday night sued the Adams County coroner to get the new report.
