Tanisha Anderson was restrained in prone position; death ruled homicide | cleveland.com: "Tanisha Anderson died as a result of being physically restrained in a prone position by Cleveland police on Nov. 13, the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's office announced Friday.

Her death was ruled a homicide.

Anderson's official cause of death was ruled "sudden death associated with physical restraint in a prone position," according to the medical examiner's office. Her heart disease and bipolar disorder were considered factors that increased her chance of sudden death, office spokesman Chris Harris said.

Anderson, a 37-year-old East High School graduate, has been held up by protestors as an example of police violence alongside Tamir Rice, Michael Brown and Eric Garner, among others."
