Media summary: Jones ran up a $500 tab at a hotel bar and had been using large amounts of cocaine before hotel security called the police. He ended up being tasered some 11 or 13 times (accounts vary) and was strapped face-down to an ambulance mattress. His resulting death was attributed, not to the cocaine, not to the Taser, but to positional asphyxiation.
