A Tennessee man died after a Widespread Panic concert on July 18 at the Snowden Grove Ampitheater in Southaven, Miss., when police hogtied him and transported him face-down on a stretcher as the intoxicated, asthmatic man cried, "I can't breathe," his family's attorney said.
Troy Goode, 30, attended a concert with his wife where he took some LSD. The paranoid reaction that he had from the drug made it appear to onlookers as if he was fighting with his wife, Kelli Goode, prompting them to call the police, according to Examiner.
Police soon arrived on the scene and arrested Goode outside the concert in Southhaven. His erratic behavior was witnessed by the police, who noted that Goode was acting "erratically" before he started to run away from them.
Goode was restrained at around 7:45 pm as police attempted to arrest him for disorderly conduct. They hogtied him in restraints and placed him face-down on a stretcher as he was transported to a hospital in DeSoto where he died a few hours later at 10 p.m., according to the New York Daily News.
The cause of his death is unknown. An autopsy will determine how Goode died. Results are expected within two weeks.
Southaven, Miss., attorney Tim Edwards stated, "Positional asphyxiation is what we believe was most likely the cause of death." However, authorities believe that the cause of death was the LSD and and the stress brought on by the reaction of the drug, according to Pollstar.
Goode was described by Edwards as an intelligent man who graduated with honors from Christian Brothers University in Memphis.
"This guy was exceptional," he said. "He was quite bright. He was not a criminal. He was a highly compensated individual who made a mistake, and now he's dead because of it."
