How they died
Less-than-lethal force
On December 10 Shirlaw, dressed in shorts and no shirt, and with a history of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, argued with and then punched a pedestrian in the street. Afterwards he entered a hotel lobby, where police found him. To control the unarmed but violent Shirlaw, officers placed a stun gun on his neck. Shirlaw collapsed, was taken to a local hospital, and was taken off life support 10 days later.
