Taser 'contributed to, but didn't cause' Dziekanski's death

The results for Robert Dziekanski's autopsy have finally been revealed.

According to a report on Canadian Press [LINK]:

Robert Dziekanski's death was not directly caused by the Taser jolts but they were one of several contributing factors, along with heart disease, alcohol withdrawal, the stress of being restrained and a decreased ability to breathe due to an officer kneeling on him, said Stan Lowe, spokesman for the B.C. Criminal Justice Branch.

I'll have some comments on this shortly...
