How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Running in traffic and dressed only in a pair of dirty shorts, Del' Ostia made a nuisance of himself in a motel lobby. Responding local police struggled to control him and prevent him from breaking the lobby windows. They tasered him; he stopped breathing. His death was attributed to both illegal and prescription drugs in his system. His family filed a wrongful death lawsuit and received $6,000.
