postracialcomments-deactivated2: Tanisha N. Anderson, 37, was in police custody then taken to the Cleveland Clinic, where she was pronounced dead on Nov. 13. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office said her death was caused by “physical restraint in a prone position in association with ischemic heart disease and bipolar disorder with agitation.” The manner of death was homicide by legal intervention. Anderson’s family said they believe she would still be alive if not for excessive force by the Cleveland police. “The family demands justice for Tanisha, a thorough criminal investigation and an independent prosecutor that results in accountability by the police officers and the Cleveland Police Department,” the family said in a statement on Friday.
