The prison officials say he committed suicide but Tyler Perry was having none of it and hired Dr. Michael Baden, a famed pathologist who has been involved in numerous cases, including JFK, O.J. Simpson, and Jeffery Epstein to perform a second autopsy and determine the cause of death of his nephew.
Autopsy Report
According the a new report by TMZ, Perry has now gotten the second autopsy report from Dr. Baden and it confirms he died by suicide.
”Tyler tells TMZ … they got the autopsy results back from Dr. Michael Baden — the world-renowned pathologist he hired to look into 26-year-old Gavin Porter’s death in a Louisiana prison. We’re told Baden says he’s 98 percent sure there was no foul play in Porter’s death. ” the TMZ report states
” That seems to confirm what prison officials told the Perry family … that Tyler’s nephew hanged himself using bedsheets while in solitary confinement. The family wasn’t convinced, which is why Tyler hired Baden to conduct an independent 2nd autopsy. ”
Tyler says, “The answers don’t take away grief, but it surely gives room for grieving to take its course.”
Perry, 50, had originally hoped to hire Porter at his massive studio in Atlanta after he had served his sentence.
“Call me naive. But it was my hope that after serving his time; and really reflecting and showing much remorse and asking God for forgiveness that he would have been able to come to work for me. Joining all the other former inmates who work for me and turn his life around just as they have. But that day will never come,” Perry said.
