The Los Angeles County coroner said Bronstein's death was caused by"acute methamphetamine intoxication during restraint by law enforcement." The report lists Bronstein's race as White.
A nearly 18-minute video showing the officers' treatment of Bronstein was released last year following a judge's order in the family's federal lawsuit alleging excessive force and a violation of civil rights. He continues screaming as six officers hold him face-down — the lawsuit alleged they put their knees on his back — and pleads for help."I can't breathe!" and"I can't!" Bronstein cries, and an officer responds,"Just relax and stop resisting!"
