man is in car chase with cop...man stops and runs cop handcuffs passenger and falls over dead...heart attack...they are now charging driver with involuntary manslaughter...here is an excerpt from article about cop...
Hooks was the first out of the car Friday and ran when it stopped in Taylor's yard at the end of the dead-end street, Lott said.
Both passengers lay on the ground. Lane had just handcuffed one of them when he suddenly went down to his knees and then fell prone on the ground, Lott said.
Watts said Lane had an enlarged heart caused by high cholesterol and blood pressure. He also had severe cardiac disease. Watts said Lane's wife told him her husband was aware of his medical condition.
"This heart attack could have happened while he was playing basketball. It could have happened in his sleep," Watt said.
Lott said Lane's death as the result of a stress-induced heart attack demonstrates why he pushes his officers to stay in shape.
"He's just been in a car chase. It's one against three. He doesn't know what they've done," he said. "All that stress just piles up on you."
