How they died

Mateo's girlfriend called 911 to report his violent, irrational behavior, hallucinating on drugs. By the time they arrived Mateo was attacking his own father and smashing furniture. He was pepper-sprayed, handcuffed, taken down two flights into an ambulance, and died of cardiac arrest.
