During the arrest the suspect kicked him several times in the legs. After several days Officer Kohring's legs began to swell which ultimately led to his death. Officer Kohring's autopsy revealed that he contracted aortic stenosis, leading to his death. The suspect was convicted of public drunkenness and fined five dollars.
