WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A 17-year-old who became unresponsive while being restrained at a Kansas juvenile facility died two days later at a hospital, authorities said. Police took him to the Sedgwick County juvenile intake assessment center, where he assaulted staff, White said. The juvenile was restrained and became unresponsive, White said. It is unclear whether the restraints played any role in causing the youth to become unresponsive while in custody. The youth became unresponsive while handcuffed at the center, and he had earlier been restrained by Wichita police with a restraint system known as the WRAP.
