According to the police, the man who died had a history of schizophrenia and violent behavior.
The man, identified as 33-year-old Gerrod Belin, can be seen on surveillance video entering the dealership and attacking several employees.

The officers immediately placed the man into handcuffs and moved him into the recovery position (on his side).
The officers noticed he was unresponsive and his pupils were dilated. They also noticed a white substance around his mouth and believed he could be suffering from a drug overdose. Sgt. Matt Vorce administered Narcan.
Medical personnel pronounced the man deceased at the scene.
