A Baltimore man died after being sedated and restrained by medics. His mom wants answers
Tuesday, 16 July 2024 () The mother of a Baltimore man who died in police custody after being sedated by medics wants to know whether the actions of first responders caused his death. Experts say first responders failed to act urgently when Trea Ellinger turned onto his stomach and remained in the prone position for several minutes. Prosecutors declined to charge any of the first responders involved in the case. But a recent investigation led by The Associated Press found that the practice of giving sedatives to people restrained by police has spread quietly across the nation over the last 15 years, resulting in some avoidable deaths.
