Otieno was immobile 20 minutes after entering the admissions room, and despite resuscitation efforts lasting less than an hour, he died at the scene.
The preliminary report from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has identified asphyxiation as the cause of death.
The Washington Post obtained a video of Otieno being restrained, and attorney Ben Crump, representing Otieno’s family, has criticized the brutal nature of the restraint.
Defense attorneys did their best to block the video from being released, but prosecutor Ann Cabell Baskervill has stated that she plans to make it public on Tuesday.
Seven Virginia sheriff’s deputies and three hospital employees have been charged with second-degree murder concerning Otieno’s death.
The grand jury in Dinwiddie County is set to meet on Tuesday to determine the final charges.
