In 2019, when police confronted Elijah McClain because he was acting “sketchy,” they had no legal right to place him in a chokehold; a recent autopsy by a forensic pathologist said the injection of ketamine by paramedics was excessive and led to his death.
“Simply put, this dosage of ketamine was too much for this individual and it resulted in an overdose, even though his blood ketamine level was consistent with a ‘therapeutic’ blood concentration,” Cina wrote.
McClain, a 23-year-old Black man, a massage therapist wearing a ski mask and a self-taught violinist, was on his way home in Aurora, Colo., and apparently dancing frenetic to the sound of music on his earphones when someone called the police about his gyrations. The officers arrived after the 911 call, seized him and applied a carotid chokehold, which cut off the flow of blood to his brain.
While being transported to the hospital he suffered cardiac arrest and was pronounced brain dead three days later on August 30, 2019. An autopsy identified McClain’s history of asthma and the carotid hold, neither of which the report said contributed to his death, according to the report; it also noted the amount of ketamine in his system was at a “therapeutic level.
Evidence that emerged during the grand jury proceedings prompted the coroner to alter the original autopsy report, but the changes remained secret for more than a year.
