Keenan Anderson's family is planning to file a lawsuit against the city of L.A. before the end of the month, according to the family's attorney Carl Douglas.
An enlarged heart and cocaine use have been identified as the causes of death for Keenan Anderson, a 31-year-old man who died hours after being shocked multiple times with a Taser by Los Angeles police, according to a new autopsy report.
