The RCMP has said it does not believe the man's death was related to the Taser, and that the man was shocked twice.
But Ashrafinia alleges the Tasers were used more than twice.
"At one point, two officers - one here, one on his right, one on his left - they Tasered him both at the same time," she said. "That is what really disturbed me."
She said the man then bent over and collapsed. "I looked at the guy, he turned blue," she said.

Tasers can be used more then once for compliance. It was explained earlier but according to Icarus that was irrelevant.
Further, one can't get more then 50,000 volts regardless of how many tasers are actually used on him. What would happen from my knowledge is that it would simply create more contact points thus creating a wider area to arc. Once the nervous system is disrupted, it's an all or none response.
Anyway, I am interested to read the eye witness accounts.
