In the mid-nineties there was a great deal of interest in what was called restraint asphyxia, or positional asphyxia, associated with the hog-tied position or associated with the piling on that Dr. Dowling alluded to earlier. A series of deaths were published in academic journals, journals of forensic science, that I'm sure my colleague remembers. That was very much the fashion of that time, concern being raised by bodies such as yours about that use of restraint. That seems to have become less of an issue now with the arrival of the taser, and the taser is the focus.
My personal view is that the rate of death is about the same. We are seeing roughly the same number of deaths associated with excited delirium followed by restraint and/or tasers as we once did. That would be my view. I don't know if there's a difference. I don't think there is.
