(AP) - A state investigation has found police officers didn't cause the death of a man who was pepper-sprayed and later died at a hospital.
Twenty-five-year-old Steven Sherlock of Fair Lawn died in March at St. Joseph's University Medical Center shortly after he was brought there by police investigating a barroom brawl in Paterson.
An autopsy found he died of a heart condition exacerbated by acute alcohol intoxication.
