‘I can’t breathe! Help me! I’m choking on my blood!’
These were among the last words uttered by Sgt James Brown, 26, before he died in 2012 while serving a two-day sentence for a DWI incident at the El Paso County Jail.
The station KFOX14 this week obtained a graphic video showing what happened to the active-duty soldier from Fort Bliss before he passed away while in custody.
Brown, a decorated soldier who served two tours of duty in Iraq, left his wife and young child in July 2012 and self-reported at the El Paso jail for the weekend. He had no prior criminal history.
