Family calls 911 for medical emergency, police show up instead of paramedics, allegedly force family to stop CPR, man dies as result

The family of a man who died of an apparent heart attack in 2009 has filed a lawsuit against the city of Snyder and five police officers, claiming police restrained the family from performing potentially lifesaving treatment.
[...]
The lawsuit alleges Benny Bollinger, the husband of Darlene Bollinger and father of Debra Bollinger, was alive when Snyder police officers arrived at their home on Dec. 6, 2009, in response to a 911 call.

The officers immediately restrained Debra Bollinger, took her in a separate room and forced her to stop CPR, the lawsuit states.

Darlene Bollinger also was prohibited from assisting, according to the lawsuit.

When emergency medical personnel arrived, they recommenced CPR and took Benny Bollinger to Cogdell Memorial Hospital in Snyder.

"Benny Bollinger was still alive when he arrived at the hospital, and medical personnel continued administration of resuscitation efforts, but ultimately, he died," the lawsuit states. [Emphasis added]
