manslaughter after kling a hol rker at a five-star caribbean resort breaking his silence. it s been a living nightmare. reporter: scott hapgood was vacationing with his wife and three kids in anguilla in april when he says kenny mitchel came to the door in uniform, claiming he needed to fix a sink. but hapgood says mitchel pulled a knife on him and demanded money, claiming mitchel then stabbed and bit him during a struggle. hapgood s daughters ran for help. officials say mitchel died of positional asphyxia and blunt force injuries. it was a terrifying incident. i know that i was a victim, my family was a victim here. i think the truth will come out. reporter: a toxicology report obtained by abc news shows mitchel had a blood alcohol level more than twice the u.s. legal limit, and had cocaine and marijuana in his system. abc news has not independently verified the report, and authorities in anguilla would not confirm the results.
covers. they noted that in there, correct? noted that. the tissue that covers the whites of the eye. tissue in the gums. it shows small pinpoint hemorrhages. this is the hallmarkas asphyxia due to compression of the blood vessels. not the only thing. a compression of the chest and positional asphyxia. a big man. his body mass index was more than twice the high level of normal. so he was a big man. he was on his stomach. his chest was compressed. he couldn t breathe. he could say i i can t breathe. he had trouble breathing. again it gets to the point of what was the, the precipitating factor which appears in this case, had the the chokehold not happened this whole chain of events wouldn t have happened. they go ahead and say contributing factors, asthma, obesity, cardiovascular disease. all those things may be the case.
we ve seen quite clearly that there was a stranglehold and a choke being applied. and it really is insulting to everyone s intelligence and it s an insult to professional policing to come up with these excuses and rationalizations for what we all saw and what is obvious and known and established by scientific fact. what was the cause of death, dr. kobilinsky? i believe i haven t seen the autopsy report. inn fortunately, it hasn t been released yet. but i do believe the medical examiner talked about a couple of things. first of all, the chokehold. secondly, the prone position. could have been what we call a positional asphyxia, and thirdly, compression of the chest, also known as burking. the way people normally breathe is the muscles of the diaphragm as well as the muscles within the ribs, what they do is they raise the chest up and outward.
difference between a criminal action in which he is presumed a criminal defendant and proven beyond a reasonable doubt versus police practices. first off it wasn t a chokehold, understand we all know from our training the fact he was able to speak means his wind wasn t cut off. if you look at the video, you will notice when he first said he couldn t breathe, they were not around him. i think the video speaks for itself in terms this was a takedown procedure and not a chokehold. jon: he also had asthma. doing with this issue called positional asphyxia, and the family ever present in that case died of positional asphyxia. you can t look at this case just by chokehold.
