Excited Delirium, is a condition where people show sudden signs of aggressive and oftentimes bizarre behavior. Symptoms, according to a 2011 report published in the Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, include "shouting, paranoia, panic, violence toward others, unexpected physical strength, and hyperthermia." The theory has long been used by law enforcement agencies, coroners, and district attorneys to describe the actions seen by some during police encounters. If allowed to intensify, the delirium can put so much strain on the heart that those suffering from it could die. It states that when people with a history of drug abuse and mental health conditions are placed in high-intensity situations, for example, maximum police restraints, they can grow severely agitated and display feats of superhuman strength prior to their heart giving out and dying. In recent years, Excited Delirium has been the main legal defense in high-profile excessive force trials throughout the country including George Floyd, Elijah McClain, Daniel Pride, as well as dozens of others. https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/investigations/excited-delirium-ca-lawmakers-aim-to-ban-term-in-custody-deaths/509-9605cd0f-440f-4c0e-8373-c3bcd8e31597
