VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — The death of a man who was in Virginia Beach Sheriff’s Office custody back in June has been ruled a homicide.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Norfolk shared the update with 10 On Your Side on Friday afternoon, saying Rolin Hill died from “positional and mechanical asphyxia due to restraint with neck and torso compression.”

The update came after the Virginia Beach Sheriff’s Office announced Friday that five deputies involved in the Hill incident had been terminated, and a day after 10 On Your Side requested the autopsy report in the case.
