Abstract
The article discusses a paper published in Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology that examines the relationship between excited delirium syndrome (ExDS) and restraint. The authors of the paper argue that there is a causal link between ExDS and death, with aggressive restraint being a significant factor. However, the article criticizes the paper for its flaws, including the use of incorrect references and the failure to recognize the differences between ExDS and agitated delirium syndrome (AgDS). The article concludes that the paper's conclusions are misleading and denies the complexity and variety of cases related to ExDS. [Extracted from the article]
