How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Roberto Gonzalez died after being tasered four times by police. He was unarmed at the time of the incident. Officers discovered he was not breathing moments after he was shocked and handcuffed. Police said they chose to end a standoff with the man, who was holed up in a pantry, after he appeared to be cutting himself on the chest and abdomen, but the Lake County coroner said an autopsy showed no such wounds.
