AUSTIN (KXAN) — The autopsy of a teen shot and killed by an Austin Police Officer shows he did not have any PCP in his system at the time of his death.

The autopsy was released Friday after his family had been given the results. According to a statement from the Joseph family, “Toxicology results only showed an antihistamine, marijuana, and Xanax” in David’s system.

“The autopsy also clearly shows there was some distance between Officer Freeman and David when the shots were fired, because there was no gunshot residue found on David’s body. The evidence from the medical examiner shows there was no up-close struggle where Officer Freeman had to pull his gun,” said Attorney Jeff Edwards.

5. Antihistamine OD can cause a crazy delirium, just like PCP

It is a difficult overdose to handle in the medical setting. A gun is not part of our protocol, however.
