How they died
Less-than-lethal force
After being observed by NYPD taking part in a likely drug transaction, Jose Muniz was chased and ducked into a nearby bodega. He was uncooperative when apprehended and pepper-sprayed. Muniz began choking and had trouble breathing. Police extracted a golf-ball-sized package of cocaine from his mouth that he'd swallowed to conceal. He died in the ambulance en route to the hospital.
