How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Police had been called out to Delafield's home 28 times previously. They were well aware of her multiple physical and mental health issues: obese, wheelchair-bound, on oxygen, on medication for paranoid schizophrenia, with an enlarged heart, and both frail and combative. Despite consulting with her family in a sympathetic way, police discharged their Tasers on her 10 times for a combined total of 121 seconds. This killed her.
