In a filmed interview posted online by a leading opposition party, cafe owner Hassan Mosbah described the beating. "They dragged him to the adjacent building and banged his head against an iron door, the steps of the staircase and walls of the building... Two doctors happened to be there and tried in vain to revive him but (the police) continued beating him... They continued to beat him even when he was dead."<ref>{{Citation|last=mohamed khalil|title=خالد سعيد الحكاية الكاملة ج3|date=2010-06-13|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH2RDwXZjqg|accessdate=2016-11-19}}</ref> This description given by the owner was confirmed by the [[Egyptian Organization for Human Rights]].<ref name="San Diego">{{cite news|title=Egypt cafe owner describes police beating death|author=Paul Schemm|url=http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/jun/13/egypt-cafe-owner-describes-police-beating-death/ |newspaper=[[The San Diego Union-Tribune]]|date=13 June 2010|accessdate=3 February 2011}}</ref>

Former chief medical examiner of Egypt, Ayman Fouda, was interviewed about the proper procedure that should have been followed for Saeed's autopsy. He stated that the "mechanics of the injuries" that Saeed had sustained should have been investigated and his brain should have also been tested to see whether he had had a [[concussion]], as the medical examiner that had conducted the autopsy had done neither.<ref>{{cite news|title=Interview: Former chief medical examiner on Khaled Saeed autopsy|author=Dareen Farghaly |url=http://www.almasryalyoum.com/en/node/53003|newspaper=[[Almasry Alyoum]]|date=30 June 2010|accessdate=26 January 2011}}</ref>
