Brian Layton Cardall
Brian Layton Cardall (December 7, 1976 – June 9, 2009),[1] a Science Foundation Arizona fellow, studying community genetics, the study of how genetic variation within species influences its distribution, abundance and fitness.[2] Cardall was born in Salt Lake City on Dec. 7, 1976, the sixth child of Duane and Margaret Cardall. After serving a mission to Bilbao, Spain, for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Utah State University.[3] Brian suffered from bipolar disorder. While driving toward the town of Hurricane on June 9, 2009, he had a psychotic episode.[4] Local police responded to his wife's 911 call by tasering the doctoral student twice, causing his death.[5] Brian's death started a statewide discussion in Utah over the use of Tasers and the police response to the mentally ill. The Utah State Legislature passed a resolution encouraging police departments to provide officers with better training in how to respond to encounters with those who have mental illness. Utah Governor Gary Richard Herbert signed the resolution in a May 2011 ceremony with Cardall's survivors in attendance.[6]
