The medical examiner ruled it a homicide, citing a heart attack from prolonged prone restraint and blunt force injuries — though obesity and alcohol use were noted as contributing factors. His family demands answers and questions whether race played a role, pushing for criminal charges. Experts call the death preventable, stressing that medical staff should have intervened and criticizing the use of a spit hood on someone bleeding. This tragedy exposes systemic failures across hospital response, law enforcement tactics, and lack of medical oversight.
