How they died
Less-than-lethal force
About 8 p.m., officers were called by employees for a report of an intoxicated man, who was in a restricted area of a business. Edward Snukis allegedly was not cooperating with officers as they tried to place him in custody. Police said he punched one of the officers in the nose before a second officer used a stun gun. The stun gun reportedly had little effect, and Snukis began running from the officers. Snukis tripped and fell, which allowed officers to catch him. He was killed when officers were handcuffing him. Vanderburgh County Coroner Steve Lockyear said Snukis died "as a result of Methamphetamine intoxication with a contribution of cardiomegaly. The manner of death has been ruled an accident."
