Miami: "After the [taser] discharge, Xavier Jones, 29, became unresponsive, and paramedics took him to Doctor's Hospital in Coral Gables, where he was pronounced dead. ..."

It's very sad. Many police are taser trigger-happy because they've been trained that tasers are essentially perfectly safe. Even now, Taser continues to downplay the risks. I think that it's perfectly clear that some people have died after being tasered, and it's unlikely to simply be a series of 'excited delirium' coincidences. I'll bet you a dollar that the Taser reps are headed to Miami right now to provide 'expert assistance' during the investigation.
