Tampa, Florida (US):
A second autopsy shows that a 14-year-old youth who was punched and kicked by guards at a juvenile boot camp did not die of natural causes as a medical examiner initially ruled, prosecutors confirmed yesterday.
Martin Lee Anderson was sent to the Bay County sheriff's office boot camp on Jan. 5 because of a probation violation. A surveillance video showed guards kicking and punching him after he collapsed while exercising on his first day at the camp. He died at a hospital early the next day.

A noted pathologist who observed Monday's 12-hour autopsy on behalf of Anderson's family said it was clear that the teen did not die from sickle cell trait, as the medical examiner for Bay County had determined, or from any other natural cause.
Pam Bondi, a spokeswoman for Hillsborough County State Attorney Mark Ober, confirmed that assertion by Dr. Michael Baden but would not elaborate, saying it will be months before the investigation is complete.
''My opinion is that he died because of what you see in the videotape," said Baden, referring to the surveillance video.
