I agree with you Mark. Not only are these people coming up with things that are not in the report, they completely ignore the fact that the deputies actions were commended by the witnesses at the scene.

Severe dehydration can cause some of these symptoms also and the blood sugar being off balance is another possibility. I am wondering also if he wasn’t trying to get help. Maybe he came to enough to realize he was in a bad situation. It’s a shame either way. Very few will know ALL the details. I’m sure no one expected the outcome to be what it ended up as.

I knew this man and his lovely family back in the 1980’s. Norbert has been
battling his addictions for a very long time and I think they finally caught up with him.
God rest his soul and my thoughts and prayers to his siblings.

What? Are we trying to blame the deputy for this man’s death? If he died during the arrest, it should be investigated. Odds are, the guy had something in his system he shouldn’t have, if you look up his public records.

I love how people jump on the “don’t make assumptions” bandwagon when most of the “perps” reported on this site have a long history of legal troubles that are VERY easy to look up.

If I see drug arrest after drug arrest, you can bet I am going to assume drugs are involved again!

Yet everyone wants to assume the deputy was in the wrong somehow. People talking about use of tasers, when there is no mention of it in the article.

Dave, thanks for the much needed clarification.

The article stated “A deputy arrived to find Chabannes still naked, delirious, and covered in blood and sweat. As the deputy tried to subdue the man, it became clear that he had no pulse, according to a Sheriff’s Office news release.”

Call me crazy, but to me that means he WAS alive when they found him, THEN he died. But then again, I was awake in grade school.

or you could just look at the title of the article…

“Dies As Deputies Attempt To Subdue Him”

Dies….AS deputies…attempt to subdue him. He wasnt already dead. It says that when the deputies arrived, he was “still naked, delirious, and covered in blood and sweat”. He was STILL “delirious”. They tried to subdue him, and during that, he died.

Let me blow your minds here people.

What if the guy died in the process of being subdued?

Wow, I know right! Let me repeat for the CNN drones, yes, think here for a second.

I know this is not CNN or FOX so you can’t just believe what I’m saying but “What if he died in the process of being subdued?”

Okay let that settle in MSNBC. I know. I know. Sit down, get a drink of water.

Here we go.

I want to enlighten you all on something. You CAN think on your own. Yes you CAN.

You can figure things out. Its called critical thinking.

Please do this before commenting.

Officers were in the process of controlling this man then he suddenly died. Heart stops and he drops dead. Officer continue to place the man under arrest.

Is he faking?
Did he die?
Check pulse.
No pulse.
It is apparent he is not faking.

He died.

Simple.

Thoughts to the family of this man and another thank you to all deputies in ECSO and jail working a thankless job. You guys and gals need raises!

No Pulse? Subdue usually implies resistance, but with no pulse, wouldn’t he be dead?

@ sunsidedown, it’s good nothing happened to you, but you probably had a checkup beforehand to let them know you could be tasked, some people don’t know there’s anything wrong with them then do something to get tased & bam your electrocuted & dead, you can’t tase a wet person, person with known medical issues & other reasons, but the cops aren’t gonna know this, but if my husband was to let them tase him @ his work voluntarily, he has to get a medical checkup.Now back to the man doing all this to the victim, he was prolly trying to break in homes trying to find victim & finish what he was trying to do in the first place & that sounds like he wanted to harm her. A man can’t be delirious & have no pulse.
