An independent autopsy of slain Lebanese intellectual Lokman Slim did not reveal signs of torture, according to his family.

Slim’s wife, film director Monika Borgmann, said his family ordered a private pathologist to examine his corpse. That examination revealed no signs of torture, but the full autopsy is not yet ready, The Associated Press reported Monday.
