Doug Martin lawsuit claims police use of force

The parents of former NFL running back Doug Martin have filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against Oakland police and emergency medical services, alleging excessive force and delayed medical care contributed to his death last October while he was experiencing a mental health crisis. Martin, a two-time Pro Bowl player, died at age 36 after being restrained by police following his withdrawal into a neighbor’s basement during an incident in Oakland. The lawsuit claims that police used force and that paramedics arrived late and failed to provide timely medical assistance, leading to Martin’s death.
