Dunno about this case - but I would be way less than surprised to hear drugs were a contributing factor in both his being a problem child that needed restraining or even his death.
It's seldom just one thing....
You ever had a dose of Fentanyl? Strung out and hard to restrain is pretty much the opposite of what it does.
Both autopsy reports state that he died from the 8+ minutes of compression that hampered blood flow.
If his system were pristine...never a drug or drop of liquor having entered his system...8+ minutes of restricted blood flow to the brain would have killed him.
The first autopsy says that there was evidence of recent meth use...that could have been days before.
Unlike cocaine, a stimulant that’s quickly removed from and almost completely metabolized in the body, —largely unchanged by the body’s metabolism—much longer, leading to prolonged stimulant effects. The effects of meth can last anywhere from around 8-24 hours, depending on how much is taken, the time of day, how it was administered (IV, oral, etc.) how well the kidneys and liver are functioning, and the individual’s body chemistry. It has a half-life of 9-24 hours. This means that it takes 9-24 hours for the amount of meth in a person’s blood to be reduced by half.

We aren't talking about PCP.
The drugs didn't kill this guy.
The man had the life squeezed out of him. full fucking stop
But fentanyl affects a persons responses to stimuli - like a cop asking for compliance AND slows respiration......
I bet it did not help the situation...
