Bodycam video released in connection to man's in-custody death at UT Southwestern Medical Center

In November 2022, Kenneth Knotts died after going unresponsive while in police custody. A grand jury eventually declined to indict the officers involved.DALLAS — An attorney has released bodycam footage in hopes of helping the family of man who died while in custody at a Dallas hospital.

The footage starts with Knotts sitting on a hospital bed with his hands cuffed behind his back. He then gets off the bed to drink water from the hospital room sink. The video released by his family's attorney shows Knotts face down on the hospital bed, at times shouting. Hospital staff can then be being brought into the room and helping restrain Knotts. The Dallas police report said the staff was holding Knotts down until they could bring in"soft restraints."

The report said medical staff performed life-saving measures for 43 minutes before Knotts was formally pronounced dead. According to a Dallas Police report, Knotts was then seen on top of a SUV in a parking lot while holding his infant son in his arms. He allegedly refused to come down from the vehicle, claiming Austin Police officers were trying to kill him and that he needed his tire fixed.
