The phrase 'Excited Delirium' has reportedly been listed as a cause of death on some death certificates.
Why?
Taser reportedly sent out brochures to every coroner and medical examiner in the land promoting excited delirium as a more-likely cause of death when tasers were involved.
Their corporate behavior should be raising the eyebrows of the regulators. Where are the regulators?
Taser claims their products are safe - so where the hell are the regulators?
There was an exchange of comments on the following post:

The argument being tentatively proposed by Katie led directly to the conclusion that 'Excited Delirium' was simply another name for Beer + Taser = Death.
I offered my opinion that Taser probably wouldn't be willing to sign-up to that argument.
Comments from Taser International Inc. or their sock-puppets will not be published, but will be investigated. If you have a good pro-taser argument, then go start your own blog (they are free). Comments are moderated. And Google now automatically filters out comment spam.
There is no such medical diagnosis as "excited delirium" therefore it can NEVER be a cause of death.

I generally agree, but...
