Colleen Ritzer Autopsy Photos __exclusive__ Online

Colleen Ritzer was killed in October 2013 by Philip Chism, who was 14 at the time. Because Chism was tried as an adult, the legal proceedings were open to the public. During the trial, prosecutors presented a mountain of evidence, including surveillance footage from the school and forensic reports.

In the United States, and specifically under Massachusetts law, autopsy records and photographs are generally considered medical records. They are protected by privacy laws to prevent further trauma to the victim’s family and to maintain the dignity of the deceased. Colleen Ritzer Autopsy Photos
