Jayland Walker was handcuffed when his body arrived at the medical examiner's office [View all]

Akron, Ohio (CNN) Jayland Walker was handcuffed behind his back when his body arrived at the coroner's office to be processed as part of the investigation into the officers who shot and killed him in Akron last week, according to a medical examiner's report that was reviewed by CNN.

The preliminary report by the Summit County Medical Examiner's Office contains several pages of thumbnail photos showing Walker dead and handcuffed at the scene. The photos also contain evidence of lifesaving efforts, including what appear to be tourniquets and bandages attached to and lying around his body.

CNN was allowed to review the report but not make copies, per office policy. A final autopsy report will be turned over to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations, which is investigating any criminal wrongdoing by the officers. The autopsy report will be part of what the state attorney general's office considers for presenting a case to a grand jury.

Walker was killed in the early morning hours of June 27 after he fled what police said was an attempted traffic stop, leading officers on an 18-minute car chase and then a brief foot chase. It ended after he quickly stopped and officers believed he was reaching toward his waist, and "felt that Mr. Walker had turned and was motioning and moving into a firing position," officials have said.

Full headline: Jayland Walker was handcuffed when his body arrived at the medical examiner's office, according to the autopsy report

So they handcuffed a corpse with 60 bullets in his body thinking that he would still rear up and reach into his bloodied waistband, moving into firing position as a threatening scary black man ready to shoot multiple cops at once and try to escape?

The Chief and the entire department need be charged.

Meanwhile 2 states over, a jobless killer of 7 and wounder of 20+ who had multiple high-powered rifles, with one left at the scene traced to him after having fired at least 70 rounds, and who also had a "traffic stop" and a "chase", and was then found with more rifles in his car, managed to not have a fusillade of bullets sprayed his way.
