According to WALB, when Johnson was found dead his original cause of death was listed as "accidental positional asphyxia," however, when a second autopsy was done, the cause of death was reported to be "blunt force trauma."

Johnson's mother took to social media to express her sadness at having to disrupt her son's peace but said, "it has to be done," according to WALB.
