How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Heston's parents called police to report that he was "acting strangely". To subdue Heston, police tasered him more than 40 times, until he stopped moving. He died on scene. The incident is notable as the first major legal victory of a victim's family against Taser Intl; they won a $6.2M compensatory and punitive jury award in 2008.
