Philip McCue

How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Police were first drawn to an evening noise complaint. McCue, with a history of mental illness and whose autopsy showed "bath salts" use, was the source of the noise. McCue bounded out of his apartment house and into the street. Police and firefighters "corralled" him and tasered him and McCue went into cardiac arrest. After a second heart attack and a period in a coma, he died several days later.
