Officers responded to 911 calls about a fight in the 2100 block of East Colfax Avenue at 4:22 p.m. Tuesday, including one caller who told dispatchers a man wearing underwear got into their car and tried to carjack them.<\/p>\n

Someone in the car started fighting with the man to try to get him out of the car, hitting him on the head and upper body before pulling him out of the vehicle. More people called 911 after the man walked away, entered a business and caused a \u201cdisturbance,\u201d police officials said.<\/p>\n

Officers who first came across the man inside the business said he \u201cappeared to be breathing heavily and began yelling.\u201d The officers handcuffed and subdued the man as he struggled, and later asked emergency medical crews to respond.<\/p>\n

Emergency crews took him to a hospital, and he later was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n

The State Patrol, Colorado Bureau of Investigation and DPD\u2019s major crimes division are investigating the case with oversight from the independent monitor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

The Denver medical examiner\u2019s office will release the man\u2019s name and cause of death.<\/p>\n
