Man dies after police stun him
HAMILTON A Forest Park man who struggled with police Monday morning and was stunned twice with a Taser died shortly afterward en route to the hospital.
Marvin Hendrix, 27, reportedly went into cardiac arrest in an ambulance, Hamilton police said, and was pronounced dead at Fort Hamilton Hospital.
Police said they don't think the two stuns caused his death, but they and the Butler County Coroner's Office are investigating.
A life squad responded to a morning call that Mr. Hendrix was ill and nauseated. A struggle ensued, and Mr. Hendrix became violently combative with both paramedics and police, authorities said.
A Hamilton police supervisor used a Taser to apply a two-second stun to Mr. Hendrix, without effect, police said. A second stun calmed him, and paramedics loaded him into an ambulance, where he went into cardiac arrest.
