How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Cunningham, autistic, bit his caregiver in the group home he lived in. The caregiver called police. Police tried pepper spray to subdue him, they handcuffed him, and paramedics injected him with sedatives. He responded by stripping his clothes off and running into the backyard. He was tasered, twice, then stopped breathing.
