At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Aaron Torres, a Teamsters Union supervisor on the "Hawaii Five-0" television production was asphyxiated by police at his Nanakuli home in February and was in a "cocaine-induced excited delirium" when he died, according to the City Medical Examiner's office. Aaron "Spydah" Torres, 37, died of "mechanical asphyxia during police restraint" Feb. 20 and his body showed a "history of cocaine abuse," the office said. The Medical Examiner said the manner of Torres' death was "homicide."
