How they died
Deadly force
Coppin had a history of mental health issues. He couldn't have made his wish to die any clearer: summoning police, hiding and handling a black hairbrush like a weapon, taunting officers with "I have a gun" and "Let's do this", and the note in his pocket that said "Happyness iz death". NYPD obliged him with 10 fatal gunshot wounds.
