How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Dewayne Chatt died after being tasered three times by police. He was unarmed during the incident. He collapsed in a cell and died immediately. Media reports don't state categorically whether he was booked, so this incident may be outside of FatalEncounters dataset, which does not include individuals after they've been booked into the jail or prison system.
