And just to add a serendipitous (or not) overlap with our larger
conversation here, it seems the victim received a Ketamine Injection to
help subdue him. I don't know if Ketamine is implicated in heart
attacks. I suppose some could suppose that the heart attack might
have been avoided if they had administered the ketamine earlier? It's
tricky.
