Overview

• Authorities say the 40-year-old lost consciousness while being restrained so handcuffs could be applied and could not be revived despite CPR.
• Police had been called around 12:30 p.m. Thursday to a multi-family building on Großenhainer Straße over reports of a tenant rioting and throwing objects from a balcony.
• An emergency doctor already on site to assess a possible involuntary psychiatric commitment took over resuscitation efforts, which were unsuccessful.
• Investigators note officers applied force to the man's arms during the restraint, based on the prosecutor's account.
• A death investigation has been opened, with forensic and toxicology tests pending after an initial autopsy failed to determine a definitive cause.
