How did Alonzo Brooks die? Autopsy rules death as homicide 17 years after his body was found in Kansas creek
TOPEKA, KANSAS: The latest autopsy report has ruled the mysterious 2004 death of 23-year-old Alonzo Brooks as a homicide, less than a year after federal authorities exhumed his body to investigate the case as a possible hate crime.
In a statement on Monday, April 5, the Federal Bureau of Investigations said that the autopsy focused on injuries to Brooks' body that the coroner ordered were not consistent with standard decomposition, according to multiple reports. "We knew that Alonzo Brooks died under very suspicious circumstances," Acting US attorney Duston Slinkard said in a statement obtained by NBC News. "This new examination by a team of the world's best forensic pathologists and experts establishes it was no accident. Alonzo Brooks was killed. We are doing everything we can, and will spare no resources, to bring those responsible to justice."
