Walmart employees charged with fatally crushing suspected shoplifter | National Post

At some point Wisham fell, the initial police report says, and three Walmart employees detained him.

Twelve hours later, Wisham was dead.

Reports from police at the time hinted at a medical mystery that had overtaken the 64-year-old man, who stopped breathing while he was being detained. Wisham never regained consciousness, despite life-saving efforts at Walmart and the hospital, and was pronounced dead later that afternoon.
The cause of death, officials determined, was mechanical asphyxia by restraint, meaning his airwaves were suppressed during a struggle.

Wisham also had 15 broken rib

Right? Sort of important information

As I was reading the story I was about to assume it was due to a health complication perhaps exasperated by the stress and panick of being detained.

Then the 15 broken ribs part came. We only have 24 to begin with. How the hell do you break 15 ribs?
