How they died

Jailed but uncharged, McDonnell was denied his medication for a bipolar disorder for 18 hours, despite his family's attempts to provide it and communicate its urgency to officers. When he disrobed and flooded his own cell, he was tasered twice, then went into fatal respiratory distress.
