Police said the man appeared calm at the time of arrest but denied the allegation.<\/p>\n

When officers tried to escort him to the patrol car, the man sat down and refused to move.<\/p>\n

Due to the terrain, police borrowed a stretcher from the park management and carried him about 200 metres to the patrol car.<\/p>\n

After he was placed in the patrol car, officers noticed that his face had turned pale and he appeared unresponsive.<\/p>\n

His handcuffs were removed, and he was taken to hospital by ambulance.<\/p>\n

He was pronounced dead approximately 1.5 hours later.<\/p>\n

In response to media queries, police said they do not believe there were any procedural issues in how the situation was handled, and added that he was not forcibly restrained during the arrest.<\/p>\n

An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death and whether he had any underlying medical conditions.<\/p>\n
