Alejandro Sanchez
Alejandro Sanchez died on May 5, 2018, in Stanislaus County, California, after an encounter with sheriff's deputies at a truck stop. He had approached the deputies saying the vehicle he had just bought had been tampered with, and a struggle followed in which he suffered a brain hemorrhage. The District Attorney's Office concluded the death was accidental, caused by a fall, and that the force used was justified. His mother is suing, and her attorney says his head struck the ground with significant force; he became unresponsive in a patrol car on the way to the hospital and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
Cause of death, as reported: Died in an accident (disputed). The District Attorney's Office ruled the death accidental, a fall during a struggle with deputies, and his mother's lawsuit disputes that account, saying his head struck the ground with significant force.
Reported by: District Attorney's Office; his mother's lawsuit (family or their lawyers).
