Tasers are being used more often and if you have a weak heart it can kill you. So when will those who use tasers realize that they must only be used as a last resort?
A provincial expert on Tasers is raising questions about RCMP methods after a man died at Vancouver International Airport early Sunday, shortly after being shocked with the weapon.Dr. John Butt said that because of the length of time between the death and the shock, it likely wasn't the 50,000 volts of electricity that killed the man, who was in his 40s.
But Butt, who co-authored a report on Tasers for B.C.'s police complaint commissioner in 2005, told The Vancouver Sun that questions need to be asked about the way police restrained the man after the shock, and whether that led to his death.
