How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Healy's longtime girlfriend called 911 for an ambulance when Healy became agitated and "overwrought on cocaine". Instead she received five police officers in their kitchen. They restrained him and tasered him in two five-second bursts; he lost consciousness almost immediately and was pronounced dead soon after.
