How they died

No

Two officers and a OFD medic unit responded to the Lydia House homeless shelter at about 1:20 a.m., where Marshall Nelson had reportedly been acting strangely and combative. Nelson was restrained until the officers arrived and handcuffed him. According to police the officers and medics then noticed Nelson seemed to be unconscious, so the handcuffs were removed and CPR was begun. Nelson was pronounced dead at a hospital. Police said no physical force was used on Nelson.
