Jerry Francisco performed an autopsy. King's closest aides contacted Robert Lewis Jr. to retrieve the body and prepare it for viewing.

The assassins' bullet, as well as the subsequent autopsy, had caused significant damage to King's neck and face, and both Robert Lewis Jr. and Clarence Lewis labored through the night embalming, grooming and preparing King's body, while listening to crackling recordings of King's speeches. Ralph Abernathy commented "the body appeared unblemished. The morticians had done their job well."
