According to previous reporting by CNN, John Elliot Neville, 56, of Greensboro, experienced an "unknown" medical emergency while in custody at the Forsyth County Law Enforcement Center, causing him to fall off his top bunk.

Body camera footage of the incident showed Neville yelling for help and resisting the officers who were trying to restrain him. Neville can be heard telling officers, "I can't breathe" and calling out, "Mama!" during the episode, which occurred a day after his arrest on December 1.
