If you never looked into what excited delirium is, or at least what it's claimed to be, it's a wild fucking ride. It's a rabbit hole that you probably should not go down but I still recommend trying.

tl;dr: "Excited delerium" is a thing that was made up, is not a real thing, and is used by medical examiners to excuse police for murdering (usually non-white) people.
