A man is dead after he breached security at Honolulu International Airport and stopped breathing, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported.

The man ran through a security checkpoint at a small commuter terminal about 5:48 a.m. early Saturday, the newspaper said.

The man, who was not a traveler, pushed aside a security officer and ran through doors where airplanes were parked. He was stopped by an airport employee, who was backed up by other law enforcement and security officers.

The man then became unresponsive.

Efforts to revive him were made by the Honolulu Fire Department, EMS and Airport Rescue Fire Fighters, State Transportation Department spokesman Tim Sakahara told the Star-Advertiser.

The man was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Sakahara said the man, who not been identified by authorities, was in his 40s, the newspaper said.

One law enforcement officer with the Securitas firm was injured and has been taken to the hospital for treatment, Sakahara said.

Honolulu police detectives are investigating the incident.

Strange one, eh?

Yeah, I'm sure he just dropped dead without assistance...

This tells me there is a piece of the puzzle missing.

I hope they do a full autopsy.

Tuzon says his brother suffered from a heart condition and had heart surgery in the past. During the struggle on the tarmac Saturday morning, he wonders if Kosi “say he can’t breathe? Did he say he had heart problems? We just want to know what the police did.”

“I’m not saying they did a bad job. I’m not saying they did a good job. We just want answers and answers is the one thing we are not getting.”

Tuzon says his brother has been in and out of prison and had a drug problem.

We looked at Kosi’s criminal record which showed he had 35 charges between 1989 to 2003, including some felonies on assault and escape.

Well, your short answer is that your brother had a serious health problem and had been a long time meth user who may have been having a psychotic episode during his airport run, choke holds or whatever brutality you're imagining notwithstanding. I'm surprised it hadn't happened much sooner.

If I leave the meth out of it ... This part kind of makes sense to me ... sick people do strange things ... like if he suddenly felt unwell and panicked and started running blind ... I can see how a security guard might not recognise that and respond with force ... especially at an airport.
