Officers first made contact with the man after concerned citizens reported seeing a man who appeared to be intoxicated walking in and out of traffic on Fairview Avenue. Upon arrival, police said they made contact and secured the man due to his erratic behavior. He then suffered what appeared to be a cardiac event.

Medics were called to the scene and evaluated him. They transported him to Prattville Baptist Hospital, where he died.
