The family of a Black man, who died in a jail in Texas last month, have called for the arrests of detention officers after viewing video footage of his final moments.
Marvin Scott III's death was ruled a homicide by the Collin County Medical Examiner's Office on Wednesday.
In a news release, Dr. William Rohr said his findings show Scott's cause of death was "fatal acute stress response in an individual with previously diagnosed schizophrenia during restraint struggle with law enforcement." A final autopsy report is to be released at a later date.
