Jairious McGhee

How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Local police were flagged down and alerted to McGhee, irrational, combative, and dashing through an intersection. Officers tasered McGhee, who collapsed in a medical emergency and died some 28 hours later. The police later asserted that the victim was in the last stage of some disease--maybe viral meningitis--and was within hours of death.
