Nancy Velazquez eisiau gwybod pam y tad ei blant yn marw. Y tro diwethaf gwelodd Michael Mercado, the 37-year-old man was struggling with police officers outside their apartment on Oxford Street. He was suffering another episode of bipolar disorder, which he had battled for more than a decade.

As Mercado lay on the ground in handcuffs, Velazquez, 32, was ushered away by police. Three hours later, she was standing in a waiting room at University Hospital, listening to someone say Mercado was dead.

While police internal-affairs investigators probe the circumstances of the Newark man’s death, family and neighbors have called for a federal investigation. They allege he died after an overzealous officer used excessive force in the March 4 incident.
