I had previously posted [LINK] about the young man (Kevin Piskura) that was left in critical condition after being tasered. Unfortunately he has died.
HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) - Authorities investigating the death of a man who was subdued with a stun gun outside a bar in Oxford say it will be several days before they know what caused his death. An officer used a Taser device on 24-year-old Kevin Piskura of Chicago early last Saturday. Piskura began to have trouble breathing and was taken to University Hospital in Cincinnati, where he died yesterday. The Butler County sheriff is in charge of the investigation. The Hamilton County coroner's office will be doing the autopsy. Spokesmen for both offices have declined comment. [LINK]
Mr. Piskura was in critical condition from pretty much the exact time that he was tasered, until he died about five days later.
How many examples do we need?
