23 year old dies after being tasered; His mother not allowed to do CPR
by skullaria at 10:48 pm EDT, Aug 31, 2008

"Harlan began to comply but refused to remove his arms from under his body so officers could finish handcuffing him, Cmdr. Kevin Palmatory of the Moberly Police said. A Taser was deployed again, at which point Harlan complied and officers handcuffed him. The second deployment was very brief, perhaps between half a second and a second long deployment, Palmatory said.

Shortly after he was handcuffed, Harlan stopped breathing. Before Randolph County Ambulance District personnel arrived, officers performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. When paramedics reached the scene, they began treating Harlan. He was then taken to Moberly Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at around 2:10 a.m. Thursday."

This conflicts with witness reports, in which he was seen to be in trouble, and the police refused to let his mother, a witness, assist her son. Her son, according to her, died in the gutter while the policemen searched the car, later noticing ...he was dead.

There's 2 or 3 versions of this story, but they all agree, there was a drunk 23 year old, breaking the law, and he was stopped and arrested, tasered twice...and died.

Well, considering that we've long since established that you can't taser people who are intoxicated or inebriated because they'd up and fucking die on you this seems like a pretty clear 'gross negligence' issue.
