Taser not cause of suspect's death
Too often, when a person who is Tasered dies, it is assumed that the Taser was the cause of death. Causation of death is not always a simple issue. Here a 40 year old who was Tasered was found to have died of a heart condition, not the Tasering.
With this guy's preexisting heart condition, a Taser could have easily trigger a coronary event.
