When Officers arrived on scene, they found the decedent standing in the street seemingly oblivious to his surroundings and the fact a car was approaching. Officers approached the decedent, detained him for his safety, and moved him from the street. Officers questioned the decedent to ascertain his information but the decedent would not or could not provide the information. Officers requested EMS then placed the decedent inside the back seat of a patrol car with the door open and the air conditioning on full. A San Antonio Fire (SAFD) truck arrived and the members began checking on the decedent’s vitals. The SAFD personnel removed the decedent from the patrol car and seated him on the ground. While SAFD personnel were attending to the decedent, the decedent became agitated and hit his head on the door of the vehicle. The decedent then stood up and attempted to walk away, potentially back into the street. SAPD officers grabbed the decedent and escorted him to a patch of grass where they placed him on the ground while waiting for an EMS unit. While on the ground, the decedent struggled and attempted to free himself. Fearing the decedent would run into traffic, the officers maintained custody of the male. As EMS arrived, the officers noticed the decedent stopped breathing. The officers began CPR initially and then EMS took over medical care. The decedent was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased. Custodial Death Report :: Page 6 of 7 --- PAGE BREAK --- Custodial Death Report :: Page 7 of 7
