Tragic death of 18-year-old after airport scuffle
Ken J. Brown, 18, of Camp, New Jersey, died after a scuffle with three police officers and a private citizen at Douglas Municipal Airport. County medical examiner Dr. Robert Wood said no significant injuries were found and further toxicology tests will determine if drugs played a role. Brown, en route to Marine Corps training at Parris Island, allegedly refused to pass a metal detector and was restrained in the main terminal. He suffered minor cuts and bruises but no skull fracture or brain damage.
