The Suspicious Death of Kendrick Johnson

#44 - On January 11th, 2013, students at Lowndes High School made a horrifying discovery inside the school’s old gym: the body of 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson, positioned headfirst inside an upright athletic mat. Investigators concluded that Kendrick became trapped while attempting to retrieve a pair of shoes and died from positional asphyxia. But his family questioned whether that explanation was physically possible. An independent autopsy later found evidence of blunt-force trauma, while problems involving the surveillance footage, delayed coroner notification and Kendrick’s missing internal organs fueled allegations that his death had been covered up. Was Kendrick’s death a tragic accident? Or does the forensic evidence suggest that something else happened inside the gym?
