Enlarge this image toggle caption Family photo via AP Family photo via AP Still unclear was whether the new autopsy would prompt the Union Parish coroner to change the manner of Greene's death from accidental to homicide, which could affect the charges available to state and federal prosecutors. The new autopsy report comes as federal prosecutors are in the final stages of a two-year civil rights investigation that began looking into Greene's death but has since expanded to examine the beatings of several other Black motorists, and whether top brass obstructed justice to shield troopers from possible prosecution. Edwards went on to say troopers' actions were "criminal" but that whether they caused Greene's death was the subject of an investigation and "I'm not going to get in front of that."
