Earlier this month, a Virginia man was killed when police officers and hospital employees "smothered" him to death. Now, the officers and medical workers involved in the killing have been charged with second-degree murder. Seven Henrico County sheriffs' deputies face charges for their involvement in the man's death.
"The family is truly grief-stricken after learning of the brutal nature of Irvo's death and his inhumane treatment in the hours preceding his death," a lawyer for the victim's family told NBC News. "The public, and experienced mental health professionals alike, will be appalled when the facts of this case are fully made known."
