Fournier was reportedly pushed off a RTC bus in March after he told a woman that she should be nicer to others. He initially refused medical treatment. Police were notified on May 3 that he had died and they began looking for the woman.;Many members of the community were shocked by the video of the man being pushed off the bus. Dozens of people came to a garage sale a few weeks later and several thousands of dollars were raised to pay for Fournier's funeral and help his long-time girlfriend.
