medical examiner's findings were clearly influenced by police - Oklahoma City
Results of a private autopsy on a man who died following a confrontation in front of the Warren Theatre differ from a report from the state medical examiner.
The private autopsy found Luis Rodriguez, 44, died from asphyxia, attorneys for Rodriguez’s widow said at a news conference Tuesday.
Rodriguez died Feb. 15 following an encounter with five law enforcement officers outside the Warren Theatre in Moore. Three Moore police officers and two game wardens struggled to handcuff Rodriguez in the parking lot.
The state medical examiner said Rodriguez died of a heart condition known as cardiac arrhythmia, brought on by physical restraint. Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn announced June 20 he would not file charges on the officers.
