Description
The family of a 26-year-old father from Indiana wants transparency after a call for help ended with his death.
Rhyker Earl had two seizures on Sept. 8, 2024. After the second one, his grandmother called for help.
"I called 911 thinking they were going to come help him," Connie Widner said.
The family and their lawyers held a press conference on Sept. 23, in DeMotte, Indiana where Earl lived. They called for the Jasper County Sheriff to release body camera video from the night they were called for help.
Both the family and police agree on many details of what happened. Including that, while handcuffed on his floor, Earl stopped breathing.
