honestly I don't know. it wouldn't even matter lawful or unlawful - its about the process of subduing the suspect.
clearly no one intended to put that man in a position where he had a heart attack, but homicide isn't defined by intent, but actions or lack of actions
So do you have a policy that says once we are in the process of subduing you and until you are subdued, whatever is happening to you is irrelevant?
its a tough call in my mind.
A jury, lawyers, and judges only want to hear facts. Not conclusions. Only facts.
They use those facts to determine if an officer acted reasonably.
And yes it can be a tough call. That's why after those calls are made, a jury of your peers analyze them to determine if you conducted yourself in accordance of the law and acted reasonably.
Hypotheticals and pre-drawn conclusions have no place in a courtroom. That's why it's a beautiful, wonderful, warm, loving place of wonderfulness.
