How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Joshua Amir Nossoughi, who was reportedly naked and claiming to be God while under the influence of bath salts, died after four officers tasered, pepper sprayed and hit him with batons as he tried to break into the Battlefield City Hall. Police contended that Nossoughi was unfazed by five Taser shocks, two dozen baton strikes to his legs and pepper spray. Nossoughi was pronounced dead at a hospital. His body temperature was 105 degrees. The medical examiner's office decided that Nossoughi's death was caused by the bath salts.
