Josephus Davis, 63, was found dead in his home at 576 Braxton Blvd. on Jan. 28.
The report states Davis died of blunt-force trauma to his chest and head, but the medical examiner noted that Fayetteville police didn't find a bloody object that might have been a murder weapon.
Davis' roommate told police that the two had been drinking the previous night but that he didn't hear any signs of a struggle after that, according to the report.
Family members have said they believe Davis was killed by someone he knew.
