How they died
Less-than-lethal force
James Dean was arrested by Kenova police after his mother reported a domestic disturbance. Olivia Dean told police her son was intoxicated and verbally abusing and threatening her. The police report said Dean fell while in custody, struck his head once and was taken to the hospital. He died 17 days later. Lawyers for Olivia Dean say the report of the incident is inconsistent with findings by the hospital and the medical examiner. The medical examiner's report showed Dean suffered multiple blunt force injuries to his head, and his estate alleges the injuries were from Newman hitting Dean multiple times while he was handcuffed.
