Last month , a Minneapolis man died eight days after he was teased at the downtown Minneapolis YMCA. The medical examiner concluded that the 28-year-old man "suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest while being restrained" and died of "anoxic encephalopathy" caused by the heart having stopped.

The case will now be looked at for the number of questions as to what happened. The police is claiming that there was no wrongdoing.

My good friend Steve Lombardi, has writing about these type of incidents for some time now. Spend some time reading the some other posts from here at the Injuryboard:

If something like this should happen to you., see your doctor and document the names of everyone around. These type of cases can involve insurance issues concerning governmental immunities and municipal liability caps. Please keep in mind that there may be time limits within which you must commence suit.
