Alton Sterling was in a struggle with cops after a call came in about a man threatening people with a gun. This is the first time in 6 years that Coroner Clark has had an autopsy sealed. Spokesman for Baton-Rouge based- U.S. Attorney Walter Green’s office said the agency could not comment on the sealing of the autopsy due to it being investigated as a civil rights case.
