How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Police sought Kairney for unknown reasons and found him at his house. The police version of events is that Kairney came at them with a knife, and that officers tasered him at the same moment that he knifed himself to death, a story that is unclear and dubious. Because no "deadly force" was used, no police investigation was published. The medical examiner ruled the death a suicide.
