The autopsy report of Officer Houston Tipping with the LAPD who died during a training exercise at the Los Angeles Police Academy in May has been released.
According to the report released by the coroner's office, 32-year-oldofficer Houston Tipping died of a spinal cord injury after a grappling exercise. During the exercise, Tipping — and the student — fell to the ground onto his neck which fractured part of his vertebrae and ultimately led to his death. The officer also suffered several other injuries.
"The manner of death was carefully considered and weighed between homicide and accident," the report said. "While deaths 'at the hands of another' are typically deemed homicides, there are exceptions that are deemed accidents.""These deaths occur during organized sports or organized exercises in which the participants are consensual to committing potentially harmful acts and accept inherent risks,"the coroner added.
, Tipping was acting as a bike instructor at the academy, working through a training scenario that involved grappling with another officer. During the demonstration, Tipping apparently fell, resulting in a spinal cord injury according to the department. Other officers there worked to give Tipping CPR, and called Los Angeles Fire Department rescue crews. Tipping was brought to Los Angeles County USC Medical Center. Despite doctors' efforts, Tipping died from his injuries.
Tipping's mother, Shirley Huffman, alleges her son was "repeatedly struck in the head severely enough that he bled" and that he suffered multiple breaks in his neck, which caused his death. The claim also alleges the training exercise "had already been questioned" before Tipping was hurt because of injuries suffered by other officers.
