| 131. No, he was dead before he got to the hospital; |

"Anthony was transported to Pitt County Memorial Hospital, where he was declared brain dead, his sister Gladys Freeman said. He was taken off of life support on Tuesday."
Brain dead is 'dead' There is no question the man was killed by the actions of the police asshole.
