How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Hanson, a Southern Oregon University student and athlete, died shortly after a police encounter at his apartment. Family had called them in on fears of suicide. A deputy state medical examiner ruled out the Taser used on Hanson as as the cause of his death. A Taser death, in their view, would have been immediate.
