How they died
No
Police responded to a domestic disturbance at around 5 p.m. Lavern McCann, who'd reportedly been released from jail that morning, had gone to visit an ex-girlfriend, but apparently wasn't welcome there. Officer Steve Scarpino chased McCann for several blocks before McCann gave up, police said. According to police, McCann told Scarpino "he was too old for this," after he stopped running. Police said officer Mike Galbreath was helping McCann into a patrol car when McCann complained of being dizzy and passed out. McCann was pronounced dead at a hospital a short time later.
