OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Prosecutors have ruled that the May death of a man at the hands of his roommate, who used a wrestling move to subdue him, was justified. The Omaha World-Herald reports that the Douglas County Attorneys Office has ruled 42-year-old Calvin Strongs death a justifiable homicide.
Police were called to Strongs home on May 29 and found Strongs 39-year-old roommate holding him down with a wrestling move called a “half nelson.” Strong was unresponsive when police arrived, and he later died at a hospital.
Prosecutors say an investigation determined that Strong had kicked in his roommates bedroom door and assaulted him, and that the roommate acted in defense of his own life.
