According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Louie Armstrong is asking the court to force the L.A. County Coroner's office to fork over Russell's autopsy pics, which he plans to have checked out by his own forensic specialist. Russell's family hired a private detective after his suicide in 2011 -- because they were convinced he was killed.
The Examiner reports that the autopsy results were made public after Russell’s death and did not indicate foul play. Nevertheless, this has not stopped his family from pursuing the murder possibility.
Reports from the coroner in 2011 revealed that Russell was not drunk or taking drugs at the time of his suicide. In addition, there was no sign of any illness or chronic health problem. Furthermore, witnesses who found his body mentioned that he was still hanging at the time with no indication of a break-in or struggle.
Taylor has not officially responded to the latest accusations from Russell’s father.
