		</div><p>A medical examiner found that a young black man suffered a &#8220;high-energy injury,&#8221; most likely caused when the Baltimore police van he was riding in suddenly slowed down.</p>
<p>A post-mortem report obtained by The Baltimore Sun newspaper says Freddie Gray&#8217;s death could not be ruled an accident and is instead a homicide because officers did not follow safety procedures &#8220;through acts of omission&#8221;.</p>
<p>Police arrested Mr Gray, 25, on April 12 and he died a week later, prompting protests and rioting. A grand jury indicted six officers on various charges. One officer faces the most serious charge of second-degree &#8220;depraved-heart&#8221; murder. They have pleaded not guilty.</p>
<p>The Baltimore Sun reported that the post-mortem found the injury, similar to those suffered in shallow-water diving, was most likely caused when the van suddenly decelerated.</p>
<p>A spokesman for the Maryland medical examiner and for the prosecutor&#8217;s office declined to release the report, but State&#8217;s Attorney Marilyn Mosby condemned the leak.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to make it very clear that the state&#8217;s attorney&#8217;s office did not release the Freddie Gray autopsy report. As I have repeatedly stated, I strongly condemn anyone with access to trial evidence who has leaked information prior to the resolution of this case,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Lawyers for the officers released a joint statement saying they had not yet received the report, although Ms Mosby is expected to turn it over to the defence by Friday.</p>
<p>Although officers loaded Mr Gray into the van on his abdomen, the medical examiner surmised he may have got to his feet, then been thrown into a wall when the van abruptly changed direction.</p>
<p>Because Mr Gray was not belted in and had his wrists and ankles shackled, he was &#8220;at risk for an unsupported fall during acceleration or deceleration of the van&#8221;.</p>
<p>Police and a lawyer for the Gray family have said previously that Mr Gray suffered a severe spine injury.</p>
<p>At the University of Maryland Medical Centre, Mr Gray tested positive for opiates and cannabinoid, according to the post-mortem.</p>
