How they died
No
Jason Beard reportedly died from an apparent medical emergency following a police chase. At around 11:30 p.m. police stopped a car on the east side of town and two people fled on foot. A woman was arrested after a short chase, but the man ran into the home of an acquaintance, who reportedly noticed that he was in medical distress and called 911. Beard died before he could get to a hospital. According to police, false reports circulated about an officer-involved shooting or Tasering, but said they didn't have any contact with Beard. Police chief Eric Murphy speculated that he likely died of a heart attack or similar issue.
