6. Why are there two differing coroner’s reports? The Johnson family had to struggle to get any of the records they got, using repeated filings of Open Records Act requests. The coroner’s report they received from the Open Records Act requests stated how dismayed Coroner Bill Watson was by the crime scene’s compromised condition and the moved body in the January 22 report:
“I was not notified of (sic) this death until 15:45 hours. The investigative climate was very poor to worse when I arrived on the scene. The body had been noticably (sic) moved. The scene had been compromised and there was no cooperation from law enforcement at the scene. Furthermore the integrity of the evidence bag was compromised on January 13, 2013 by opening the sealed bag and exhibiting the dead body to his father…I do not approve of the manner this case was handled. Not only was the scene compromised, the body was moved.”

No, it doesn't look like a homicide
A tragedy ? Yea. The reddit post pretty much debunked the homicide claim

It wasn't a cheerleading mat. it was a wrestling mat.
Here's the link, which is eye opening. http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums...cide/CU6fateUAAEb2BH_zpsfrhe8d65.jpg~original
It was a foam gym mat that could not have killed almost any conscious, uninjured adult.
see post 2. and do a google search.
time to move on. No CT here.
See post #3. A second autopsy confirmed what the pictures show. It was a homicide.
No. the autopsy report you linked to suggests further investigation is needed.
Hey, but don't let partial facts and cherry picking get in your way of posting your opinion.:mrgreen:

That's a helluva lot of blood for a kid stuck upside down in a gym mat. I've never read an explanation for this and I understand why.
His sock appears to have blood on it.
What is a "foam gym mat"?
A standard ASTM F1081-97(03) compliant wrestling mat (which is required by the National Federation of State High School Associations and all 50 states) is going to be about 40' long x 40' wide x 1" or 1.25" thick (they're sold in those two thicknesses) and manufactured of PVC Rubber Nitrile foam covered with a PVC vinyl painted surface.
It's going to weigh somewhere between 1600 and 2000 pounds (depending upon thickness, calculated at 1 - 1.25 lbs (lbsxft^2) for a 40x40 mat and using the specifications from a standard Resilite brand mat, though I would imagine that all manufactures mats would be the same as they're all using essentially the same material).
Judging from the images I've seen he was rolled up in one section of a standard three-section mat so the mat section weighed either 533 pounds or 666 pounds (again, depending upon its thickness).
Just consider that while you're deciding whether or not a "foam gym mat" could have held an upside-down and essentially immobile teenager long enough for him to asphyxiate.
Knowing how heavy and bulky and just "dead weight" those things really are from having spent my formative years rolling them up, moving them from the back practice room out to the main gym for matches, and then re-rolling them and moving them back to the practice room, my opinion is if you got rolled up inside one of them, or fell down in to one that was already been rolled up as this kid is alleged to have, you'd be pretty much ****ed.
Here's a lengthy overview.

The results of the second autopsy performed by Dr. William R. Anderson were released in early September 2013. In his report, Dr. Anderson concluded that Kendrick Johnson had died from “unexplained, apparent non-accidental blunt force trauma to his right neck and soft tissues.”
What was the nature of the wound Dr. Anderson found that resulted in the above conclusion?
He called it blunt force trauma. I would agree that it could've been more thorough. I would have hired Wecht because he's media savy. It's an interesting case, which needs more evidence to work with.
Soft Tissue Injury of the Neck - Health Library
CAUSES
Causes of blunt injury may include:
• "Clothesline" injuries. This happens when someone is moving at high speed and runs into a clothesline, outstretched arm, or similar object. This results in a direct injury to the front of the neck. If the airway is blocked, it can cause suffocation due to lack of oxygen (asphyxiation) or even instant death.
• High-energy trauma. This includes injuries from motor vehicle crashes, falling from a great height, or heavy objects falling onto the neck.
• Sports-related injuries. Injury to the windpipe and voice box can result from being struck by another player or being struck by an object, such as a baseball, hockey stick, or an outstretched arm.
• Strangulation. This type of injury may cause skin trauma, hoarseness of voice, or broken cartilage in the voice box or windpipe. It may also cause a serious airway problem.
SYMPTOMS
•Bruising.
• Pain and tenderness in the neck.
• Swelling of the neck and face.
