Marcus G. Brown

How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Waterbury police officers detained Brown for acting suspiciously in an intake area of a local hospital early on a Sunday morning. Locked in the back seat of a patrol car, Brown began kicking violently, was threatened with a Taser, then became compliant. Once again he began physically resistant, was tasered by the officer, then once again became compliant. A short time later Brown was discovered unresponsive and in distress. He died shortly afterward.
