Here's the article explaining why excited delirium should not be taught:

While the term “excited delirium” has been used by law enforcement officers and coroners’ offices for years to explain sudden, in-custody deaths, it has increasingly fallen out of favor following the high-profile, in-custody deaths of George Floyd in Minnesota and Elijah McClain in Colorado.

Our ongoing investigation has tied more than 150 deaths across the U.S. to the term since 2010. All but two happened during or shortly after law enforcement or medical restraint.
