Hi 2sisters,


There must be more to the story. This happened here a couple of days ago;
Teen suspect in Cop assault taser-zapped nine times

Hi, dark shadows! I was thinking that he was hopped up on something and the taser zap just put his body over the edge. I am not sure how tasers work and the science behind them.

Tasers are quite safe, even for people with pacemakers. Being high does on occasion cause problems.

There are many experts who would refute that. While there have been many deaths of people who have been tasered who are also on drugs, there have been instances of people dying after being tasered who had no drugs in their system.

Personally, I think some of those deaths are related to commotio cordis.
