RALEIGH, N.C.—A North Carolina sheriff’s office says a man who sued after being beaten by officers last year received an $83,000 settlement just one day before he was found dead of a suspected drug overdose.
Wake County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Eric Curry tells news outlets that Kyron Hinton received the settlement money on Feb. 22. The next day, he was pronounced dead after police and medical crews responded to an emergency call.

Two state troopers and a Wake County sheriff’s deputy were accused of using excessive force against Hinton last April after responding to 911 calls about a man acting erratically and possibly armed with a gun. Hinton also was bitten by the deputy’s dog.
Three troopers were fired and criminally charged, while the sheriff’s deputy was charged and placed on administrative duty.
