Baden said it was likely the last of bullets to hit Brown, 18,whose death has spurred a week of rancorous protests in Ferguson, insuburban St. Louis.

Police have said little about the encounter between Brown and theofficer, except to say that it involved a scuffle in which theofficer was injured and Brown was shot. Witnesses say the teenagerhad his hands in the air as the officer fired multiple rounds.

Baden told the Times that Brown was also shot four times in theright arm and that all the bullets were fired into his front. Thenewspaper said the bullets did not appear to have come from veryclose range because there was no gunpowder on his body.

That determination could change if there were residue on Brown'sclothing, which Baden did not examine, the newspaper said.

Some of the bullets entered and exited Brown several times, thenewspaper said, including one that caused at least five wounds. Itsaid one shattered his right eye, went through his face, leftthrough his jaw and re-entered his collarbone. The last two shots inthe head would have stopped him in his tracks and were likely thelast fired, the Times said.

Baden told the newspaper Brown would not have survived even if hehad been taken to a hospital immediately.

Baden did not return a message left by The Associated Pressearlier Sunday.

Earlier Sunday, Attorney General Eric Holder ordered a federalmedical examiner to perform another autopsy on Brown, citing the"extraordinary circumstances" surrounding his death and a requestby Brown's family.
