BERLIN -- Berlin police say a 49-year-old man has died after being detained by officers during protests Sunday against the German government's anti-coronavirus measures. Police said early Monday that the man had complained of tingling in his arm and chest while officers checked his ID in the capital's Mitte district, where thousands of protesters had rallied despite an official ban on demonstrations. Officers provided first aid to the man until an ambulance arrived and took him to the hospital, where he later died, police said. A routine investigation has been opened into the man's death.
