NEW YORK - The New York City medical examiner who conducted an autopsy on an unarmed black man who was killed during a 2014 arrest said at a hearing on Wednesday that a police officer’s chokehold set off a “lethal cascade” of events that ended in the man’s death.
The New York Police Department is conducting a disciplinary trial for Pantaleo that could lead to his dismissal, nearly five years after Garner’s death. The department has banned officers from using chokeholds for decades, saying the maneuver is too risky. Using a green laser pointer, Persechino explained that the autopsy photographs showed a band of ruptured blood vessels in the muscles in the front of Garner’s neck, and said they were caused by pressure from Pantaleo’s forearm.
A summary of her findings shared with reporters in 2014 and repeated in Wednesday’s hearing ruled that the cause of death was: “Compression of neck , compression of chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police.” London sought to undermine the medical examiner’s ruling on Wednesday by noting that Persechino found no external abrasions on Garner’s neck and that small bones and cartilage in his neck were not fractured.
