At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Healy's longtime girlfriend called 911 for an ambulance when Healy became agitated and "overwrought on cocaine". Instead she received five police officers in their kitchen. They restrained him and tasered him in two five-second bursts; he lost consciousness almost immediately and was pronounced dead soon after.
This record exists so that James J. Healy Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
