How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Police officers encountered Zheng Diao, 76, in a nursing home armed with a knife and scissors. Diao did not speak English and did not understand the orders give by the officers to disarm. Diao put the knife to his throat and one officer tasered him. Diao fell and hit his head. He died several weeks later, in part because of blunt force injuries from his fall.
