Conspiracy theories have long raged over the murder of Tupac Shakur – and now it’s claimed his autopsy report doesn’t even exist.
The legendary rapper was shot in a drive-by in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996 – succumbing to his injuries six days later.
But some argue the Changes star didn’t die but instead faked his own death and fled to Cuba to live his life out of the public eye and away from those who put his life in danger.
On the 24th anniversary of his death, a YouTuber has fuelled the theory even more by claiming the photo of Tupac’s body taken during his autopsy raises questions over its legitimacy.
Questions have been raised surrounding the validity of the autopsy image
But according to the official story, Tupac was shot in a drive-by shooting while his car was stopped at a red light in Las Vegas.
He was driving with a former music executive Suge Knight when a Cadillac pulled up and shots were fired towards the car they were in.
Tupac was hit four times, twice in the chest, once in the arm and once in the thigh, according to reports.
The rapper died nearly a week later after suffering respiratory failure which led to cardiac arrest.
However, according to one conspiracy theorist, his autopsy report “doesn’t exist” and if it does, it’s fake.
Fans say the autopsy report is fake due to discrepancies
A picture released of the late rapper lying on the autopsy table also “proves he’s still alive”.
YouTuber DJ Skandalous raises some questions about the legitimacy of the image.
He says: “A thing I noticed about the autopsy picture is the Machiavelli tattoo that he had on his neck was missing.
“This could be because the photo was pixelated and is not HD – but from what I see, the tattoo is not there.

“The other thing I found suspicious about the autopsy picture is that Tupac was in a hospital in a coma for six days, but when you look at the autopsy picture that’s leaked on Google images, his head is shaven and his face is shaven.
“Why would they shave his face and his head if he’s in a coma and in critical condition?”
He goes on to raise suspicions explaining that no one has been able to contact the person who cremated the rapper.

In an episode of the Dr Oz Show, reporter Michael Yo and forensic criminologist Laura Pettle discuss the mystery surrounding the night of the shooting and what followed after.
Viewers heard that no autopsy report is available which leads some conspiracy theorists to believe this is because “he’s not really dead”.
Dr Oz said: “When it comes to Tupac no autopsy has been released. I’ll say it again, there is no autopsy for us to look at.
“My team tried to obtain it, we couldn’t.
“To me I gotta say, it’s sorta strange, he died six days after gunshot wounds. Usually, you shot, you stop the bleeding, and then that’s it. In his case, I’m being told, indirectly, he bled but later. So, the whole thing is a bit strange.”
To add fuel to fire, the show mentions that the autopsy report of fellow rapper Christopher Wallace, AKA Biggie Smalls, is available. The east coast rap icon died on March 9, 1997, within an hour after being shot.

But there is further mystery as Tupac’s coroner’s report has been labelled fake by some due to some alleged discrepancies.
Last year a member of the YouTube channel WiredUp TV claimed this report was faked because of two distinct mistakes.
Danny – who didn’t give his last name – told Daily Star Online: “The autopsy results say he was 6ft tall and he was 215lbs.
“But Tupac was 5ft10ins maximum and 170lbs on his best day.
“I didn’t know Tupac was as tall as Michael Jordan.”
On his official coroner’s report, Tupac’s height does, in fact, read as 72ins tall (6ft).
