Immigrant's Last Moments Caught on Video

A video posted to YouTube purportedly captured a Mexican immigrant screaming for help in the moments leading up to his death. The man, 32-year old Anastasio Rojas Hernandez, was hit with a baton and tasered by American officials while escorted to Mexico through a border gate at San Ysidro, California.

Officials said he died of a heart attack, and high blood pressure and methamphetamines were contributing causes, the New York Times reported. In the video, Hernandez is heard repeatedly yelling for help. The videographer asks a nearby police officer for an explanation, but the officer says he doesn't know what's happening.
