How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Karl W. Marshall died about two hours after police shocked him three times with a Taser. Marshall was arrested after police responded to a disturbance call at an apartment complex. Marshall reportedly refused to be handcuffed and officers shocked him three times in "drive stun mode." According to police, Marshall didn't seek medical help, wasn't taken to a hospital, and was then found unconscious in a holding cell. According to Jackson County medical examiner Thomas Young, Marshall died from toxic effects of cocaine abuse. Young said Marshall was in a state of "excited delirium" and that during such a state, a person's body temperature increases and the person becomes "wild and strong and psychotic."
