Doug Martin died on Oct. 18 while he was in police custody.

Chilling police footage has emerged of Doug Martin on the night he died in the custody of police in October.

The NFL world was shocked to learn that Doug Martin passed away in Oakland, California, on Oct. 18 at the age of 36. Police had responded to a home invasion in Oakland that night and took Martin into custody.

Tragically, he suffered a medical emergency while in custody and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. Martin’s agent, Brian Murphy, stated that his client was struggling with his mental health and “could not run” from it.

TMZ Sports has obtained and released footage of Doug Martin acting irregularly on the night of his tragic death. Martin is seen walking through a neighbor’s backyard before he smashes a window to break into the home.

Officers arrived at the home and managed to handcuff a distressed Doug Martin following a brief struggle. But after taking him outside, officers realized that he was unresponsive and attempted CPR.

Martin was taken to a hospital soon after, where he was pronounced dead.

Officials are still investigating Martin’s death. The officers involved in the arrest were placed on administrative leave.
