A 13-year-old boy tragically passed away suddenly on Tuesday morning at his home in the chareidi neighborhood of Beit Shemesh.
Paramedics who were called to the home carried out prolonged resuscitation attempts and evacuated him in critical condition to the hospital, where sadly he passed away shortly later.
The boy, who just celebrated his bar mitzvah on Sunday, has no known health problems. Due to the sudden nature of his death, the authorities transferred his body for testing at the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute.
The Beit Shemesh residents began protesting against the autopsy and by early afternoon, the protests had spread to Jerusalem, on Rechov Shmuel Hanavi and Yechezkel.
At least one protester was arrested for disturbing public order.

good chance the only “democratic” state that such a thing would occur contrary to ones religious beliefs, is in the “jewish” state
Um, you know none of the facts of the case at all.
You have no idea why the police want an autopsy, why they suspect foul play…
There are situations when halacha allows, no demands, us to prevent future deaths via autopsies. There are clear tshuvos from gedolim to that effect.
If foul play is suspected the US will also force an autopsy in most jurostrictions
Hopefully they’ll close down all the major streets in the business districts in many cities, until the zionist reshayim back down from being mechallel the Torah here.
so lbj.. that gives you a good excuse to sit in comfort in your shmutz laretz and comment
Did he get the clot shot?
This person was found with bruises on his entire body, and he was likely beaten to death. There are serious problems in this home.
Not to worry. The crazies will burn the city down. Then the father will get arrested, and we will have more protests to free him. He will go to jail and everyone will forget this story.
This has happened many times in the past.

As opposed to in the Zionist shmutz which is infinitely worse.
ye..left over zionist shmutz and mostly other thing$$ you are not in the loop about (dont give them so much credit… they are not so idealistic to be Ideological zionists.., )…but STILL in Eretz Hakodesh where every step you take is a mitzva.. where kedusha could penetrate even YOUR stone heart…. Stop drinking the neturei karta cool-aid and at least be honest about how scared you are to be here in EY and live a real jewish life…
