The manner of death was homicide, Williams wrote in an email.<\/p>\n<p>Otieno, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/health\/mental-health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">struggled with mental illness<\/a>, died March 6 after he was pinned to the floor while being admitted to Central State Hospital in Dinwiddie County.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/virginia-police-id-suspect-mall-food-court-shooting-left-1-injured\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>VIRGINIA POLICE ID SUSPECT IN MALL FOOD COURT SHOOTING THAT LEFT 1 INJURED<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Video released earlier this month showed sheriff\u2019s deputies and hospital employees restraining a handcuffed and shackled Otieno for about 20 minutes after he was forcibly led into a hospital room. For much of that time, Otieno was prone on the floor, pinned by a group so large it blocked the camera\u2019s view of him at times.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The official cause and manner of death is not surprising to us as it corroborates what the world witnessed in the video,&#8221; family attorneys Ben Crump and Mark Krudys said in a statement. &#8220;In a chilling parallel to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/person\/george-floyd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">George Floyd\u2019s killing<\/a>, Irvo was held down and excessively restrained to death, when he should have been provided medical help and compassion. It is tragic that yet another life has been lost to this malicious and deadly restraint technique.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Krudys and Crump have said Otieno was not resisting the deputies and others but was simply trying to breathe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/irvo-otieno-autopsy-shows-cause-death-asphyxia\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/irvo-otieno-autopsy-shows-cause-death-asphyxia <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Irvo Otieno, a 28-year-old Black man whose death last month at a Virginia mental hospital has led to second-degree murder charges against 10 deputies and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"twitter_2902945987_2902945987":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[16563],"tags":[],"stock_ticker":[],"class_list":["post-61103","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
