| Narrative: |
A 28-year-old Ventura man, who ran from deputies and then collapsed in a field in December, died of a methamphetamine overdose, according to the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Miguel Burciaga Jr. fled from deputies on December 3, 2020 when they tried to approach him to arrest him for an outstanding felony warrant. Deputies lost sight of Burciaga as he ran through a backyard and over a fence. Deputies saw Burciaga from a distance as he ran across an agricultural field and collapsed. It took several minutes for deputies to access the property and get to Burciaga, who appeared to be experiencing a medical emergency. Deputies performed cardio-pulmonary resuscitation until paramedics arrived. Burciaga was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The circumstances of Burciaga’s death were investigated by the Sheriff’s Major Crimes Bureau and the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office.
