OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
A completely naked man forced his way into a home and while he was reportedly peaceful, he appeared to be under the influence of some substances and police arrested him uneventfully. He died during arrest. The fact that he was naked as well as described as erratic suggests a possible drug overdose. Methamphetamines and cocaine are known to produce hyperthermia events causing a person to overheat and commonly remove their clothing. Being naked and erratic is a common sign of drug overdoses that is known by all emergency medical personnel. Police should have been cognizant of the medical urgency when encountering a naked incoherent man.
