A Nevada prisoner died after he was pepper-sprayed by guards, shut in a storage room, shackled and restrained with his face to the ground, according to an autopsy report obtained by The Associated Press.
Patrick Odale’s death on Dec. 28, 2023, at the Southern Desert Correctional Center has been ruled a homicide.
The autopsy report finalized in late August follows a nearly nine-month coroner investigation into Odale’s death at the mostly medium security prison near Las Vegas. The Clark County coroner’s office found Odale, who was 39, died of “ positional and mechanical asphyxia in the setting of law enforcement restraint.”
I don’t think it’s meant to be used multiple times, but I don’t know anything about it. Does anyone know?
Iirc fentanyl/carfentanil ODs often require multiple doses.
They do, and they’ll often talk about how many it took to get someone breathing again as a reference to how strong the OD was.
Thanks for clarifying!
Narcan won’t counteract pepper spray or positional asphyxia. They killed him and then tried to res him with the wrong spell.
