How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Naked, calling out "Kryptonite, Kryptonite" in the street as police arrived according to one witness, Marcus Dewayne Slade was arrested on disorderly conduct charges. In a physical struggle with officers he was tasered. The same witness saw Slade collapse to the pavement. Taken to jail, he was dead within an hour. A wrongful death suit filed by the family went nowhere. Autopsy showed that Slade died from a PCP overdose.
