ORANGE COUNTY, Fla.,None — The autopsy result on Pastor Zachery Tims was put on hold Wednesday. The 48-hour time-frame was extended due to the holidays, according to an official report.
A New York City judge decided to give Pastor Tims' family time to decide if they want to appeal a ruling that will make the cause of death public.
Tims was found dead in a New York City hotel room in August. Police said they found an envelope filled with a white, powdery substance in his pocket.
Tims' family tried to keep the results a secret, but a judge ruled on Monday that the autopsy results will be made public.
Tims was the senior pastor of New Destiny Christian Center in Apopka, one of the largest congregations in Central Florida. He also hosted and appeared on Christian television and radio programs.
