| quote: | A Simi Valley man died early today, about 12 hours after police subdued him following an alleged domestic violence incident, authorities said.
Charles Anthony Torrence, 36, died about 5:45 a.m. today at Simi Valley Hospital, according to a written statement issued by the Simi Valley Police Department.
Three police officers also were injured and were treated at local hospitals.
About 11:43 a.m. Friday, police went to the 2200 block of Parker Court in Simi Valley after someone reported a case of domestic violence there.
The first officer on the scene saw a violent confrontation occurring in the street, stepped in and persuaded Torrence to cease his aggressive behavior, according to authorities. But soon Torrence began to resist and ran away, chased by the officer as more officers arrived.
“Following the brief foot pursuit, the officers attempted to restrain the suspect utilizing a number of tactics including one officer who attempted to deploy a Taser, but it is unclear if the Taser made contact with the suspect,” the police department said in its written statement. “The suspect continued to violently resist the officers’ efforts to take him into custody.”
Police eventually were able to handcuff him. Shortly after that, “the suspect began experiencing medical distress,” the statement added.
Fire Department and ambulance personnel gave him medical aid, and he was taken to the hospital.
The Ventura County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office was conducting an autopsy, a representative said today. The cause of death won’t be announced until toxicology test results are available, which will be in several weeks, the representative said.
The Coroner’s Office has assumed responsibility for the death investigation. The Simi Valley Police Department’s detective unit is investigating the criminal case involving the suspect, officials said.
One resident of the street said the incident apparently started with a dispute between Torrence and his girlfriend, and then Torrence and a neighbor allegedly had a confrontation.
Torrence worked as a network engineer. |
Not sure if it is the same one, but the comments seem to suggest he was a "rave DJ".
