Disabled Man Dies After Struggle
With Officers in Fairfax County, Police Say
A disabled man died Wednesday
after a confrontation with officers near a park in Falls Church, Virginia,
police said.
Fairfax County police said
45-year-old Paul Gianelos, a resident of a group home, wandered away from Round
Tree Park at 3320 Annandale Road about 1 p.m. Gianelos had developmental and
physical disabilities, police said.
An officer found Gianelos about a
mile and a half away from the park and asked for the caregiver to meet them,
police said.
While waiting for the caregiver,
police said Gianelos became combative. Four officers restrained him and
handcuffed him behind his back. In the struggle, Gianelos' forehead was
scraped.
Police said Gianelos was 5-foot-9
and about 280 pounds.
He experienced a medical
emergency while the officers tried to take him into custody, police said.
Fairfax County police Chief Col.
Edwin Roessler said Gianelos was alert and breathing when police called
paramedics. When a crew arrived, Gianelos suffered what appeared to be cardiac
arrest, police said.
A medic performed CPR on Gianelos
while he was rushed to Inova Fairfax Hospital, police said.
Gianelos did not survive and was
declared dead soon after he arrived at the hospital, police said.
Roessler said the officer that
first found Gianelos is a 20-year veteran who had been trained in crisis
intervention.
Detectives with the Fairfax
County Police Department and the Internal Affairs Bureau are investigating.
A medical examiner will determine
Gianelos' cause of death.
