No wonder they had to get the taser out - I wouldn't fancy tackling him if he was kicking off.

The comments on the article seem to show pretty nicely how this is going to go. If you listen closely you'll hear the sound of a bandwagon thundering along carrying a load of passengers armed with an arsenal of conjecture but no facts whatsoever.

Will be interesting to eventually hear what the full story is.

His family must be shocked.

Distinct lack of detail as to why they were called and what he did for to be tasered...

While a tragedy, I fear that the full details will not be reported...

"Oi, you're nicked."

"Bugger. Alright, it's a fair cop. I'll come quietly." = No Taser.

"Come on then pigs, you'll never take me alive. Have some.." = Taser.


Non story.

Stressed organs due to all his training and maybe stuff he takes......??

Was he being a naughty boy?

It would be interesting to know the other charge they would have given him.

He appears to be coated in creosote too, bit of a fire hazard if sparks about.

Will there be riots in this area now because someone has died after being shot, this time with a tsar by the police? Something says no to me!

The Bolsheviks will be up in arms that's for sure.

He obviousley had a weak heart, we can only speculate as to why. However, the actions of the Police have again caused someones death.

I'm totally confident though that the Police in this instance acted in total compliance with the guildines they have for using a taser and werent overly zealous in its use.

The truth will out, whatever that turns out to be.

Do they have a guideline of "don't use the taser against someone that looks like they might implode if used upon them"?

I wonder if he was kicking off at home or something ('roid over use), police were called, "you'll never take me alive", zzzzzap. Oops.

Was he at Ohm when the tradgedy happened?

He was part of something called the Flex Appeal. I wonder how long the flex is on a taser?
