The family of a teenager who died at a boot camp for juvenile delinquents plans to exhume his body for a second autopsy because they do not believe the official finding that the death was unrelated to a scuffle with guards.

"Saying (Anderson) died of sickle cell trait is like saying a man who was lynched died because he had a weak neck," said attorney Benjamin Crump.
