How they died
Less-than-lethal force
On his first full day in a state-run elder home, Korean vet Downen wandered away and reacted badly to people trying to retrieve him. Police were called, and tasered him. He fell face-first onto the pavement and died of his injuries three weeks later. Authorities at the home concealed the police involvement from the family for two days.
