Narcan only works in the first few moments. You can’t administer Narcan to someone who hasn’t breathed in the past 15 minutes and expect it to work. Now, at the time the officers didn’t know how long it had been since he was conscious. So, trying Narcan made sense. But they should have been supervising him.

40 minutes after he was dead and they were leaning on the car playing candy crush.

Nice try!

There have been multiple stories on it in ALX Now and I have received multiple emails from the city about it. If the investigation shows there was negligence by the officers, I'm sure it will become a bigger story.

Just an FYI because I reached out to someone that has administered hundreds of doses of Narcan. He said there is no time limit for administering Narcan as long as the patient is still alive. Agonal breathing can go on for a while, so unresponsive patients are not unusual.

He had no heart beat according the first responders in the video.

Did you watch the video? He was already dead no heart beat for a while before they bothered to even try the narcan.
