1. I've wondered that myself, Niyad. According to Mary Cutcher, he was Trayvon's back with his hands

on his back, so much so that her roommate thought he was trying to render CPR. I just wonder.

I can't think about that. Just the thought of that poor kid suffering brings tears to my eyes. As a mother, I cannot imagine what his mother is going through. That though had to cross her mind. Maybe the coroner can give her some insight into that.

When my nephew died (16 years old) they were able to let my brother know how much pain he was in/if he suffered. It sounds gruesome but he needed to know. Knowing it was quick and he really didn't suffer was the only thing that kept him (my brother) from completely going off the deep end.

I feel so horrible for that family!

and she said she heard shots then, she screamed that he was dead. So, it seems that he died very quickly. Amy played the call on her show last week.

Not clear if EMS did that too before they pronounced him.

EMS report would be real helpful here.

I'm starting to seriously wonder if that was an exit wound in his chest.

The level of information suppression is astounding.
