How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Within hours of his 16th birthday local police were called to the home of an Elder family friend, where Elder had been drinking alcohol and fighting with other people in the apartment. Three officers subdued and tasered the 150-pound boy. He immediately vomited and stopped breathing soon after. Police and witness disagreed about whether he was cuffed and down when tasered.
