Last week, a medical examiner in New York ruled the untimely death of Hip-Hop music mogul Chris Lighty to be suicide. The news broke just a week ago that Lighty took his own life with a self-inflicted gun shot wound. Now, the family of the late business man is requesting another autopsy.

Michael Baden, a forensic pathologist, said that he performed the additional autopsy at the request of the family this past Wednesday. He's currently awaiting the results of the updated post-mortem examination. Baden, who gives his own independent opinion on death, has testified in a number of high-profile murder cases, including the O.J. Simpson trial.

While it is believed by many that Lighty did indeed shoot himself in the head in his Bronx apartment, not everyone is convinced. His brother, Dave Lighty, has expressed his doubt about the matter and indicated that he's not 100% sure Chris committed suicide.

Lighty managed several big name rap artists throughout the course of his career, and the likes of 50 Cent, LL Cool J, Fat Joe, and Busta Rhymes were all in attendance at his funeral, which took place on Wednesday.
