Police responded to a 911 call from a resident of Wayne Avenue who reported that O'Neill was in the process breaking into a residence. Police saw O'Neill with lacerations of the arms, a broken window and blood at the front of the property. Lower Township Rescue was also requested to respond due to the fact that O'Neill had previous police contacts for mental health related issues. Police apprehended O'Neil who resisted the initial responding officer's commands and attempts to restrain him. O'Neill was eventually handcuffed, and as he was being examined, he lost consciousness and died.
