A North Carolina inmate fought for his life as jail guards restrained him — calling out for his mom and yelling “I can’t breathe” more than 25 times, disturbing videos show. Harrowing footage released Wednesday shows John Neville,56, in a “hog-tie” position as he suffers labored breathing. The footage was taken Dec.2 at Forsyth County jail in Winston-Salem. Neville, a father of five, died at a local hospital two days later of a brain injury that was caused when his heart stopped beating, which deprived his brain of oxygen, according to his autopsy. Five former jail officers and a nurse were charged in July with involuntary manslaughter in connection with Neville’s death. In the newly released body camera footage from one of the guards, Neville is seen being informed by a nurse that he may have suffered a medical episode.
