SeattleCrime.com is reporting that the man who was arrested following a sexual assault at an Aurora motel last week never regained consciousness and died on Friday after being taken off of life support. Though SeattleCrime.com reported that medics were called to remove Taser barbs from the suspect and that a Seattle Police Officers Guild was on the scene, the information released by the SPD has not yet commented on these reports, stating that indeed the man resisted arrest, but that he was subsequently transported to Harborview Medical Center due to a suspected drug overdose.

Meanwhile, a community organizer honors the motel manager that stepped in to stop the sexual assault.
