American died due to pepper spray

Alabama resident Anthony Duane Weir died after police sprayed pepper spray into his face.

It happened on the evening of 10 July. A resident of Tuscaloosa called the police and said that a man with a gun was sitting on the porch of his house. It was Weir, who managed to escape before the police arrived.

Rascal Ronnie Dunn, the chief follower of Tuscaloosa, claims that the police began looking for him in the local forest. He was soon found, but Weir resisted the arrest. To calm him down, the police sprayed pepper solution into his face.

When Weira was handcuffed out of the woods, he fell. The police called an ambulance and began to give him artificial respiration. But before the doctors arrived, the man died.

The cause of death will be established after the results of the medical examination.
