New Hampshire Attorney General Gordon MacDonald announced the autopsy results for 40-year-old Michael Brown, of Presque Isle, Maine, on Friday.

Authorities said the pursuit late Thursday ended in Newton, New Hampshire, when Brown crashed into a tree. Authorities say Massachusetts state troopers who had pursued Brown then opened fire. Brown died at the scene. No troopers were injured.
