Article Title: A veteran with dementia got lost. He died months after an officer body-slammed him.

Article Excerpt: "...Carl Grant, a Vietnam veteran with dementia, drove off from his Georgia home intending to shop for groceries ...More than two hours later, he was in Birmingham, Alabama, using his keys in the dark to try to unlock the door to a stranger’s house. It was a one story brick home, just like his. The owner called 911. Grant assured responding officers that this was home. They handcuffed Grant, but realized he wasn’t a burglar — he truly thought he lived there. "
