Diego Rios’ death is ruled a homicide
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office has ruled the death of Diego Rios a homicide. On Thursday, the LA County Deputy Medical Examiner’s office released its autopsy and toxicology findings. Its “summary and opinion narrative” reads in part: “The cause of death is cardiopulmonary arrest due to effects of cocaine and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in the setting of prone physical restraint. The manner of death is homicide due to volitional human involvement regardless of the intent of any individuals’ actions.” Click on the story for a link to the full autopsy and toxicology report.
