The Georgia teenager who was randomly selected for a beating by other teens was battered and stomped so badly that one of his bones broke and pierced his heart, the coroner's office said today.

The Douglass County Coroner's office confirmed to ABC News that Bobby Tillman, 18, died of blunt force trauma.

The coroner's report said Tillman died after his heart was cut, and that it was likely cut by one of Tillman's bones breaking and slicing his heart as he was kicked, punched and stomped by four other teenagers.

The slightly built Tillman only weighed 124 pounds. He was picked for the assault at random as he passed a group of teenagers who said they intended to attack the next male they saw.

Tillman's grief stricken mother, Monique Rivarde, called her son "a child of God" Monday. She spoke shortly after the four people accused of killing him in what prosecutors said was an "absolutely unprovoked" attack made their first court appearance.

The four -- 18-year-old Emanuel Boykins, 19-year-old Horace Coleman, 18-year-old Quantez Mallory and 19-year-old Tracen Lamar Franklin -- were arraigned in Douglass County court Monday. Each was charged with murder and held without bond.

 

The witnesses who didn't stop it need to have their asses locked up too. Rap Soul Urban Magazine and it's entire staff sends our deeply condolences to the family of young Bobby Tillman.
