How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Police took Eric Lurry into custody during an undercover drug operation. When officers tried to pull him out of the car, he was unresponsive. In video footage, one officer slaps Lurry and curses at him before pinching his nose shut. Another officer is seen using a collapsible baton to pull something out of Lurry's throat. Police said that Lurry had swallowed a large quantity of drugs, which killed him. The Will County Coroner's Office determined that Lurry's death was caused by fentanyl-induced intoxication, and that his system contained 11 times the lethal dose of fentanyl at the time of his death.
