I dont see the problem with the photo being displayed. There is no life left in that person and no one would give a shit about that person laying there dead if it wasnt tupac. However, i find it extremly hard to look at and then block out of my mind. I can totally understand why a fam/fan would not want to see that picture.

I think the picture is real.

Its Real and that Picture is nasty

Based on what the picture looks like, I have no reason to doubt it's authenticity. However, some years ago there was a Dutch documentary shown over here in the Netherlands where they interviewed the man who actually did Pac's autopsy. He couldn't really remember much of the autopsy itself because it wasn't really a big deal to him, seeing that he's done hundreds of them and he didn't even know who Pac was. But he did say that he couldn't see anything strange about the autopsy photo and he thought the photo was probably legit, although he couldn't say for sure.

But then, mysteriously enough, when they are finishing up the interview and are preparing to leave, the pathologist's assistant walks in and I think he did remember it or something, so he takes a look at the photo and immediately noticed something about the photo that didn't seem right to him. I don't really remember what it was, I think it had to do with what Pac was lieing on, or the attributes in the picture or something.. or the color or whatever. It's been a long time since I've seen it.

Anyway, basically they couldn't say for sure whether it was real or not and said it could be either way. But what would you expect.. I mean, it's Pac.. it's bound to be a mystery..a myth...

Edit: Nevermind. I found a site with the documentary on it and I watched the bit with the coroner again and he says what I just posted, only the assistant part isn't in it. So, either I dreamed it, or it was in another documentary where I saw that bit. Anyone know perhaps? Anyway, here is a link to the documentary if you're interested. The woman in the documentary is absolutely ignorant when it comes to Pac ("Toopack") and she's just horrible with her background knowledge, but she did somehow manage to interview some key figures. Afeni,Mutulu, Kevin Manning (police officer), the coroner, Cathy Scott and a couple of others. Anyway, the autopsy part starts at about 20:00 minutes. http://player.omroep.nl/?aflID=3220119

I laughed out loud at people thinking the Y cut was part of the injuries. You can see a bullet hole in the middle of his chest, but did some of you actually believe a bullet took out chunks of both shoulders and sliced his skin from chest to neck? Come on.

Yeah i think it was just one person who thought the Y was from bullet wounds, i also had a chuckle.

of course it is real. there was so much controversy around his death that people needed proof. if people would have just accepted his death there would have been no need for this pic. those cuts follow standard autopsy procedure and the cables to either drain blood or inject embalming fluid.

from Wikipedia

"Reconstitution of the body

An important aim of the autopsy is to reconstitute the body such that it can be viewed, if desired, by relatives of the deceased following the procedure. After the examination, the body has an open and empty chest cavity with chest flaps open on both sides, the top of the skull is missing, and the skull flaps are pulled over the face and neck. It is unusual to examine the face, arms, hands or legs internally. The organs are replaced (which are usually poured in) or incinerated, the chest flaps are closed and sewn back together and the skull cap is sewed back in place. Then the body may be wrapped in a shroud and it is common for relatives of the deceased to not be able to tell the procedure has been done when the deceased is viewed in a funeral parlor after embalming."
