The Canton Police Department in Ohio has released body camera video from the night a 53-year-old man died after he repeatedly told officers “I can’t breathe” as he was handcuffed with his hands behind his back and he was pinned to the ground. In video of the encounter on April 18, the man, Frank Tyson, can be seen lying motionless on the floor of a bar for more than 5 minutes before police check him for a pulse and about 8 minutes before CPR is started.
I don’t know if this counts.” When one of the officers returns in the frame, he asks whether Tyson has calmed down and whether he’s breathing. The officer checks him for a pulse, and officers later perform chest compressions on an unresponsive Tyson. Canton police said in a news release Friday that officers had responded to a report of a one-vehicle crash just after 8:15 p.m. Thursday. They said witnesses directed them to the AMVETS, where they made contact with Tyson and he struggled with them.
