How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Former combat medic Andrew Derek Layton was found unconscious at 4:45 a.m. on New Year's Day in the entryway of a grocery store. Combative and resistive to officers rousing him, he was tasered twice, which stopped his heart. Layton was revived but lapsed into coma and died five days later. Friends held that he'd been injured in a fight; police refused to be open about details.
