An autopsy report says that a Black youth’s death following a physical struggle with staff at a Kansas juvenile center was a homicide.
“In my opinion, Cedric Lofton died as a result of complications from cardiopulmonary arrest sustained after physical struggle while restrained in the prone position,” Chief Medical Examiner Timothy Gorrill wrote in the report. “The manner of death is homicide.”
The autopsy report said that juvenile center employees were “unable to locate a pulse” four minutes after they handcuffed Lofton. The county issued a statement saying that its officials could not comment because of “the active investigation.” Sheriff Jeff Easter said during a Sept. 30 news conference — four days after Lofton's death — that preliminary autopsy results showed only scratches and a bruise on Lofton and not life-threatening injuries.
