Sandra Bland’s Full Autopsy Released Publicly
The full autopsy for Sandra Bland has been released today, providing more insight into how she ended up dead in jail, after being arrested during a confrontation with a police officer.
Yesterday the prosecutor said that Bland’s injuries are consistent with suicide, and today the extent of those injuries are now available to the public.
The autopsy notes a white trash bag was used as a ligature, “tied into a slip knot that forms a circle at one end and a knotted area at the opposite end.”
Bland also had 25 to 30 cut marks on her left forearm.
