Tyre Nichols, the 29-year-old Black man who was brutally beaten by Memphis police officers after a traffic stop earlier this year, died of blunt force injuries to his head, autopsy results released on Thursday from the Shelby County Medical Examiner show.
Nichols' death was classified as a homicide, according to the report, which was originally obtained by CBS News' Memphis affiliate, WREG-TV. The autopsy also showed that Nichols suffered liver failure and damage to his kidneys, as well as blood clots throughout his body. Nichols, who was placed on a ventilator upon arrival at the hospital, was also brain-dead at the time of his death, the report shows.
Nichols died on Jan. 10, three days after he was detained by Memphis Police officers after a traffic stop. At the time, police said that there had been a "confrontation" when officers approached Nichols' vehicle. He then fled the scene before another "confrontation" took place, police said.
