Again, considering the obvious bias of a lot of people on this board I won't bother to address comments obviously meant to incite a certain reaction or those that are just general nonsense (Fotze and Lanny come to mind) but I will throw in my 2 cents.
None of us know the cause of death as of yet. What I think some are trying to say is that the taser was not the CAUSE of his death- meaning, he WASN'T tazed and then dropped dead. In fact, he was alive AFTER the 5 second (assuming it was only 5) ride. I am not saying the taser didn't contribute to his death, only that it was not the cause of his death. To say he would still be alive if he wasn't tased, is rather presumptuous IMO as , based on the article, the guy was displaying typical symptoms of excited delerium. There are several articles on the net that are worth reading regarding the condition. In fact, there are probably several sites that deny its existence. Either way, there is most likely other contributing factors to this guys death.
