| 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".

My name is Darren Tate and I was a good friend of Charles'. I can not comment on the circumstances of Charles' death as we do not know all the facts at this stage, however I will say this. Charles was an amasing guy. He had a kind heart and soul, was generous to a fault, and was loved by many. He was not a violent man nor did he ever incite violence, but rather he was a decent guy and a loving father. He will be sorely missed by many people who loved him dearly. |
Is this the same Darren Tate from Mondo recods? |

i would imagine it is.
sounds like a case of accidental asphyxiation.petty common during incidents where someone is trying to be subdued by multiple officers.
it would appear he was probably on something as that is a common issue in domestic violence calls that end in a subject fighting or running from police.plus the fact that the cause of death was not found during the initial autopsy and they have to wait for the tox.so id say its a lock he was high on "something". pcp or meth perhaps but it could be anything.
i have a feeling the next thing you hear about this will be the girlfriend saying how the police overreacted to the incident with him. |
