HOUSTON - A jury in Texas has awarded $3 million to the mother of a mentally ill man who died after he was shocked 18 times with a stun gun and hogtied during an arrest. Shirley Nagel sued four deputies from the Precinct One Constable's Office after they detained her son, Joel Don Casey, in 2005. Casey's death was later ruled a homicide. Jurors on Monday found three of the four deputies used unreasonable and excessive force. [LINK]
I've read elsewhere that Mr. Casey's death was not directly linked to the taser. His death was attributed to other factors.
In other words, Mr. Casey was tasered, tasered, tasered, tasered, tasered, tasered, tasered, tasered, tasered, tasered, tasered, tasered, tasered, tasered, tasered, tasered, tasered, tasered, and...
...then hogtied (which, of course, killed him).
