Magazine Says Maxwell Beaten Before Death: The weekly Paris Match said pictures taken during a second autopsy on Robert Maxwell indicated the publisher was beaten before he died at sea, but two doctors who examined the body said that conclusion was wrong. The weekly magazine published graphic pictures showing what it said were bruises scattered over Maxwell’s body. It said the finding cast doubt on a Spanish autopsy’s conclusion that the publisher fell off his yacht, the Lady Ghislane, and died of natural causes Nov. 5. However, a British doctor who participated in the second autopsy denied it had found evidence of foul play. A Spanish pathologist also disputed that there were any signs of violence on the body.
