Trayvon Martin died from a single gunshot wound to the chest fired from “intermediate range,” according to a new autopsy report.

According to NBC News, the official report, prepared by the medical examiner in Volusia County, Fla., also found that Trayvon had one other fresh injury – a small abrasion, no more than a quarter-inch in size – on his left ring finger below the knuckle.
Separately, a medical report on George Zimmerman, prepared by his personal physician the day after Trayvon’s shooting on Feb. 26, found that the Neighborhood Watch volunteer suffered a likely broken nose, swelling, two black eyes and cuts to the scalp.
Both documents are part of a mountain of evidence – up to 300 pages and 67 CDs of witness statements, surveillance videos and other material – expected to be made public soon in connection with the second-degree murder case against Zimmerman.
Zimmerman shot Trayvon during a confrontation inside the gated community in Sanford where Zimmerman was a neighborhood volunteer and where Trayvon was visiting his father’s fiancée.
Zimmerman was charged with second degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon and was released on $150,000 bond; he is currently in hiding in an undisclosed location.
