An autopsy found that the patient, who was reportedly suffering from alcohol hallucinations, died from “compressional and positional asphyxia.”
Two paramedics in Illinois who were shown on video footage strapping a Black patient facedown on a stretcher, leading to his death, are facing first-degree murder charges.
At a news conference last week, Sangamon County State’s Attorney Dan Wright said police responded to a call on Dec. 18 about Moore suffering hallucinations caused by alcohol withdrawal. Footage shows a woman paramedic, who was later identified by prosecutors as Finely, frustrated and repeatedly shouting at Moore to get up and walk to the ambulance.
