Lee Marvin Kimmel

How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Lee Kimmel died after being tasered twice by police despite being unarmed at the time. He became unresponsive as he was handcuffed. His pulse was regained at the hospital, but he died about 12 hours later. He was subdued by police using a Taser gun and pepper spray after he climbed into a suburban Reading municipal building. He suffered heart failure and died a day later, police said. He was wearing only a black T-shirt and white socks, punched a window of the Spring Township building and began climbing in.
