They ruled that his death was caused by asphyxia, due to self-inflicted hanging. CHIME#2 12:08 (SKIP ahead :30 seconds) The first day they came here visiting me they said it, too. They say they beat him to death. You got the pictures because we took pictures at the mortuary, John was also handcuffed by one arm when they was beating him. The handcuff was on his wrist so tight that it left a flesh ring. He must was trying to get out of it and it cut a even circle in flesh around his wrist, it was that deep. probably while they was beating him he was trying to get out of it, whatever they had him handcuffed to.  CHIME#3 57:09 (skip ahead 1 min) Tamiko Tyler, he was killed in Wayside by the sheriffs, and they beat Tamiko. They tried to say Tamiko fell off from bed, hit his head. But all the time they beat Tamiko, bust his teeth, broke his ribs. They did a lot to Tamiko. And Juan Korea. He got killed in the county jail too. They tried to say he had a heart attack, but all the time, Juan got blunt force trauma to the head, blunt force trauma to the chest, blunt force trauma to the back. They tased him so many times. They did something to his spine too, to where he couldn't walk. And right now, so far you getting away with his death,  And Juan, they took his brain. Haven't gave his brain back to his family yet because it's damaged. Because he got blunt force trauma in the head. And the colonel never told his family he had blunt force trauma to the head. Not even attorneys told his family he had blunt force trauma, So his death is ruled as a heart attack.
