Cause-of-death determination predates autopsy for “assassination attempt" victim
Despite the histrionics of the US government - there was no assassination attempt on candidate Donald Trump on July 13, 2024 in Butler, Pennsylvania. The invisibility of the wound settles the matter. The belief that an assassination attempt took place persists only due to a deep collective psychosis and relentless propaganda.
However, two individuals lost their lives at that campaign event; Thomas Matthew Crooks and Corey Dean Comperatore. According to corporate media reports, Crooks attempted to assassinate Candidate Trump. Instead, however, Crooks killed Comperatore. Crooks was then killed by security forces.
These conclusions were strongly supported by the determination of William F. Young, III, Butler County Coroner, of the cause and manner of death of Crooks. In his report, Young gave the cause of death as “Gunshot Wound to the Head” and manner of death as “Homicide”.
Remarkably, the Young’s determinations predate the autopsy. The cause and manner of death were determined on July 13, 2024 while the autopsy was performed the next day. The autopsy was performed by the Chief Medical Examiner of Allegheny County, Ariel Goldschmidt, who later summarized the findings of the autopsy in his testimony to the US Congress:
… I determined that Thomas Crooks died as a result of a high velocity gunshot wound to the head …
It is not clear if the same out-of-sequence investigation took place for Comperatore. Young has not responded to a request for the Coroner’s Docket on Comperatore - a public record and provides the cause and manner of death of the decedent. Goldschmidt did mention that his office received the body of Comperatore but neglected to mention the Comperatore autopsy findings or even if the autopsy was performed.
The certification of the cause and manner of death of Thomas Matthew Crooks prior to autopsy is extraordinary. That no investigators within the government or corporate media care is even more extraordinary.
Nevertheless, it is increasingly clear that the assassination attempt was a horrific campaign stunt that included the cold-blooded execution of two men. The depravity of this event is almost unimaginable.
