As Colorado becomes just the second state in the country to ban use of the term “excited delirium” on police and autopsy reports… following our yearlong investigation…
I want to take a moment to explain the motivation behind our work.
While looking into deaths that happened during or shortly after prolonged prone restraint, we found many were explained not by use of force but by something known as “excited delirium”
Families often had to google the term after being told that’s why their loved one died.
