Gaga Bodyguard Death Follows Strange Attack
A bodyguard who worked security for superstars including Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and Jay Z was recently killed by police following a strange incident in his suburban Miami neighborhood.
Norman Oosterbroek reportedly began beating up a neighbor – in the nude – while consuming drugs, before police Tasered him, authorities told the Miami Herald.
He later died at a nearby hospital.
Police said Oosterbroek appeared at his neighbor’s home at about 10:45 that evening and began beating the man after he confronted him.
“He was highly violent, uncontrollable and obviously wasn’t stable,” a spokeswoman for the Miami-Dade police told the paper. She added a white powdery substance was found on Oosterbroek’s body.
Toxicology results are pending.
Oosterbroek served as a bodyguard for Nelson Mandela early in his career and later formed the security firm RAD, which has offices in the Netherlands and New York City.
