How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Jacobs told deputies that he had killed his wife. Deputies arrested Jacobs, apparently hogtying him with gauze bandages as he continued to resist. Paramedics and investigators responded. According to Sergeant Investigator Donny Whitaker, there was no dead body at the scene. Instead, responders learned that Jacobs was on medication, living with his mother and separated from his wife. Jacobs had what was described as a heart attack while in custody.
