| Law enforcement sources say Freddie Gray suffered head injury in police transport van |
| 2015-05-01 |
| [WJLA] An investigation into the death of Baltimore resident Freddie Gray has found no evidence that his fatal injuries were caused during the videotaped arrest and interaction with coppers, according to multiple law enforcement sources. The sources spoke to ABC7 News after being briefed on the findings of a police report turned over to prosecutors on Thursday. Sources said the medical examiner found Gray's catastrophic injury was caused when he slammed into the back of the police transport van, apparently breaking his neck; a head injury he sustained matches a bolt in the back of the van. Dolt hits a bolt ? Details surrounding exactly what caused Gray to slam into the back of the van was unclear. The officer driving the van has yet to give a statement to authorities. It's also unclear whether Gray's head injury was voluntary or was a result of some other action. The medical examiner's office declined to comment on this open investigation and said it does not release preliminary findings. |

| #6 mix of white/black cops. The most serious charge is against the driver - a black cop |

| #4 Do those vans have seats? seat belts? This really doesn't pass the smell test. Re: the witness. I've seen conflicting reports that he was calling for medical help before the witness was picked up. |

| #3 It takes a lot of velocity and mass to break an adult human's spine. And he was chained up too. It is not passing the smell test from a nursing point of view |

| #1 Odd they don't mention the witness who said that Gray was trying to hurt himself in the back of the van by crashing into the sides and ramming himself into the body work. |
