The 34 -year -old Hill died after being restrained in Virginia’s prison in June 2024. He was initially arrested for violation, resistance to arrest and violation of behavior, but his detention quickly became fatal. Officials claim that Hill was combined and non -judicial, leading to his violent restraint, but an autopsy ruled the cause of his death as a murder due to position and mechanical asphyxia from neck and torso compression.
Hill was restrained using the “restraint of the sheath”, a device designed to prevent the detainees from standing or moving. While he was restrained, he pleaded for water, a desperate request that was filmed in the footage of the body’s camera. Moments later, he underwent emergency medical attention due to neck and torso compression, which ultimately led to his death. Despite the severity of the accusations, former MPs Eric Baptist Kevin Wilson and Michael Kid received a bond of only $ 5,000 – a solution that outraged the family and community of Hill.
