Newly emerged surveillance video shows at least seven men at a Michigan youth center holding down a black teenager who later died after being restrained for throwing a sandwich in the cafeteria. The teenager went into cardiac arrest as he was being restrained and died in hospital two days later. His death was ruled a homicide and the doctor who performed the autopsy said Fredericks had been restrained on the ground resulting in asphyxia. The video, which has no sound, shows the boy restrained for about 8 minutes. Two male staffers and a female nurse have since been charged in Fredericks' death.
