Kenneth Oliver

How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Oliver pounded on the door of a friend's house, screaming for help. His friend opted not to open the door because Oliver sounded so desperate his daughters were frightened. The police arrived and tasered Oliver four times, according to a witness, killing himself. The victim may have had pins in his shoulders, restricting movement, creating the impression that he was uncooperative.
