Phil Spector may be innocent, coroner's report suggests

An Associated Press report suggests a coroner's report backs Phil Spector's claim that Lana Clarkson killed herself, with gunshot residue on her hands and alcohol and painkillers in her system.

Latest reports on the on going Phil Spector murder allegations case suggest the legendary producer may well be innocent. Police are still investigating the death of b-movie actress Lana Clarkson at Spector's house back in Feb 2003. Spector has always claimed Clarkson committed suicide, shooting herself, and according to Associated Press a coroner's report seems to back that claim up.

AP report that when the coroner inspected Clarkson's body in the days following the shooting they found gunshot residue on both of her hands. One bullet had been fired, in Clarkson's mouth. The actress was also found to have alcohol and prescription painkiller Vicodin in her system. All that provides good evidence for Spector's suicide claims.

No word yet on when the whole case will go to court.
