Media summary: About 1 a.m., Carlos Ingram-Lopez's family member called 911 and said he was "drunk, yelling and running around the house naked." Officers handcuffed Ingram-Lopez, who was naked, face down on the garage floor, with his hands behind his back. After several minutes, the officers realized Ingram-Lopez was unresponsive. They began performing CPR on him. The officers thought Ingram-Lopez had overdosed and administered Narcan. The autopsy report from the Pima County Medical Examiner said: "Opinion: In consideration of the known circumstances surrounding this death, the available medical history, and the examination of the remains, the cause of death is ascribed to sudden cardiac arrest in the setting of acute cocaine intoxication and physical restraint with cardiac left ventricular hypertrophy as a significant contributing condition." Officers Samuel Routledge, Ryan Starbuck and Jonathan Jackson quit before the internal investigation was completed. Officer Jerin Stoor did not quit and won't be charged. Tucson agreed to pay $2.9 million to the family.
