Efrain Carrion

How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Never arrested or charged with a crime, after willingly allowing himself to be handcuffed "for his own protection", Carrion was tasered 35 times for periods as long as 24 seconds each, beaten with weapons and fists, bitten by a police attack dog, and allowed to fall down a flight of stairs (while handcuffed) and crawl naked 20 feet into a brush thicket, after family members had called police for assistance with a medical emergency. The medical examiner attributed Carrion's death to "excited delirium."
