You may not know the name Norman Oosterbroek, but you def know some of the people he’s protected over the years!
Known as the ‘Dutch Giant’, the 6′ 5″ bodyguard to the stars has protected Rihanna, Beyonc├â┬⌐, Jay Z, even Nelson Mandela!
But how safe were they really?
According to Miami authorities, a neighbor of Oosterbroek’s looked out her window to see the 47-year-old, apparently under the influence of drugs, naked at her window!
Carrying a “white, powdery substance” with one hand, Oosterbroek allegedly broke in and began beating the woman with the other until police arrived.
Miami-Dade police were forced to shoot the raging man with tasers. Sadly, the electric shock meant to stun turned out to be too much for Oosterbroek. He died moments later at the hospital.
Police are defending their actions in the situation. Spokeswoman Nancy Perez says:
“He was highly violent, uncontrollable and obviously wasn├óΓé¼Γäót stable.”
A full autopsy is expected soon, but initial reports say Oosterbroek’s condition was consistent with cocaine use.
So sad what drugs can do to even the strongest of us.
