Salt Lake City police have launched an investigation after a woman died several weeks after being taken into custody — a death that the Utah medical examiner’s office, some six months later, has ruled a homicide.
She was arrested and put in leg restraints in January near a refinery; autopsy results were released last week.| July 31, 2022, 2:23 a.m.Salt Lake City police have launched an investigation after a 40-year-old woman died several weeks after being taken into custody — a death that the Utah medical examiner’s office, some six months later, has ruled a homicide.
On July 28, the Utah Office of the Medical Examiner sent its autopsy results to the police, the release stated. That report determined she died from an “anoxic brain injury” due to “cardiac arrest” from “probable methamphetamine intoxication in the setting of an altercation involving physical restraint.”
While seated on the ground in custody, the woman “started resisting the officers and kicked one officer several times,” so they moved her onto her stomach. The woman kept kicking and screaming despite attempts from officers to communicate with her, the release stated, so they placed her in leg restraints.
