"...an Italian immigrant died in police custody two days after he was shocked four times with a stun gun. ...the Crown says there is nothing in the autopsy report to indicate Castagnetta's death was caused directly by the stun gun." [LINK]
Ah, what would the coroner be looking for? Can anyone explain that?
Assuming for the moment that the taser can caused fatal cardiac effects, then what postmortem signs would be available for discovery?
Imagine that the taser leaves no clues, but actually is lethal. What then? Think it through.
(This question for the general case remains open even if Castagnetta's death can be fully attributed to other causes. And it is a very important question.)
