REUTERS/Kevin Mohatt//File PhotoDENVER, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Elijah McClain, an unarmed Black man killed in 2019 after an encounter with police in Aurora, Colorado, died of an overdose of the powerful sedative ketamine that was injected by paramedics, a new autopsy report released on Friday concluded. Three police officers and two paramedics were criminally charged in McClain’s death in 2021, following protests. The officers subdued McClain with a carotid neck hold and handcuffed him, according to an indictment. Paramedics then arrived and injected him with a dose of ketamine too high for someone of his weight, according to the autopsy. Following the outcry, Colorado Governor Jared Polis appointed the state’s attorney general to review McClain's death.

AdvertisementWhen I heard the final words of Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old Black man who died last August days days after being put in a chokehold by a white police officer, I heard my own 12-year-old Black son's voice. I worry about each of my black sons, but Elijah McClain made me realize I need to worry about my autistic child mostI have three Black sons. The death of Elijah McClain, who told cops he was "different" made Tracey realize her son could just as easily get pulled over. Editor's note: Elijah McClain was never diagnosed as having autism.
