Derek Jones, 17, cause of death...

"...Derek Jones, 17, died Jan. 8 of “acute cardiac dysrhythmia of uncertain etiology (cause),” Branscom said the autopsy determined. That means “basically, his heart quit,” he said, and “the report leaves it to someone else to draw a conclusion” on why. The autopsy stated that the Taser cannot be “definitively excluded as a causative or contributive factor” in Jones’ death, Branscom said. The teen “died suddenly about the same time” the Taser was used, but “the officer did nothing inappropriate to contribute to his death,” Branscom said. ..." [LINK]

There's an old saying about how when all other explanations have been excluded, whatever remains - no matter how you may feel about it - whatever remains ...is the true explanation.

Derek Jones was 17 years old. Apparently drunk. Taser_then_died.
