FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A Black man died of an accidental drug overdose shortly after a confrontation with deputies at a Florida airport in April, according to an autopsy report released Friday. The medical examiner's report listed acute eutylone intoxication as the official cause of death. Deputies at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport had stopped Todd on April 9 as he attempted to breach a security checkpoint, authorities said. Deputies said Todd had seemed irrational, but it wasn't clear then what was causing the condition. After a physical struggle, deputies detained Todd and brought him to the front of the terminal.
