New video shows the moment police officers raided the home of a 98-year-old local newspaper publisher, who died the following day.

Authorities in Marion, Kansas, entered Joan Meyer's house on 11 August, on a search warrant that was later rescinded.

Meyer died the next day of a cardiac arrest and her son, Marion County Record editor Eric Meyer, believes the stress of the raid contributed to her death.

In home security footage released by the family, Mrs Meyer can be seen dressed in a robe and slippers, and using a walking frame to stand as police search her home.
