Quote:Irvo Otieno: Death of man in police custody ruled a homicide
Quote:The death of a man in police custody has been ruled a homicide by asphyxiation by Virginia officials following a formal autopsy.
Irvo Otieno, a 28-year-old black man, died on 6 March while being transferred from a jail to a mental health facility.
A video of the transfer shows police and hospital staff piling on top of Mr Otieno before his death.
Seven deputy sheriffs have been charged with second-degree murder.
Three hospital staff are also facing similar charges in connection to Mr Otieno's death.
An official autopsy conducted by Virginia's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner found that Mr Otieno had died of "positional and mechanical asphyxia with restraints", the office said on Monday.
The medical examiner's office said in a statement that the death had been ruled a homicide.
This will be another big civil suit.
WHAT is with these guys? Do they not understand video tape? Or do they just think no one cares?
Never argue with people who type fast and have too much time on their hands...
