Brian Scully

How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Living in a group home with three other people, Scully's roommates called police when he began acting strangely. Two officers arrived shortly before midnight with a crisis intervention worker. Unarmed but resistant, Scully was having some kind of mental crisis during this detention. After being pepper-sprayed and cuffed he stopped breathing. The police absolved themselves of any responsibility and the DA was quoted, "There really wasn't any explanation in terms of cause of death."
