How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Police received calls about a naked and bleeding man walking along Fourth Street NW and running into cars. When police arrived, they said Pirolozzi attacked. They used pepper spray and a Taser trying to subdue him. Cruiser video also shows officers punching and kicking Pirolozzi and standing on his back. Police said they struggled with Pirolozzi until he stopped resisting arrest. Then he was taken to Aultman Hospital, where he died within minutes.
