Captain George Saville died of injuries sustained following a violent struggle with three suspects. He and another officer had attempted to arrest the men for drunk driving but the three put up a violent struggle. One of the men was knocked unconscious by one of the policemen and the other two were subdued. All three were placed in the police car to be taken to the station.
As the other officer drove to the station Captain Saville continued to struggle with the two conscious suspects in the back seat. By the time they made it to the police station Captain Saville had died from being choked or from the trauma of the long, violent struggle.
Captain Saville was survived by his wife, daughter, and son.
