Died at the location? Huh?[edit]

Description says the officers were recreating the scene where he ‘died’. Then the article states he was taken off life support? Doesn’t make sense. He didn’t die at the scene according to the article. Cardiac arrest is not dying. Being taken off life support is. Get the facts straight! 74.118.240.8 (talk) 15:51, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
