If you want to go with the "official" report, then why would a seemingly healthy, athletic drug free man go ape **** like that, long before any police showed up, and continue to do so after the first officers arrived? Is it not possible that what ever was wrong with him at the time caused such strain on his heart that it gave out? I mean he wasn't exactly acting normal now was he. I think this is a case where there is way more going on behind the scenes that anyone knows. It's all nice and good to say the tazer killed him, but somehow I strongly doubt that. I think the issue is compounded due to the fact that he was black, and the majourity of the officers involved were white.
All of the information came from the autopsy report. It is public record. His family claimed that he did not take his medication, thus his behavior. Regardless, that many cops had him in an enclosed area, and were obviously in control of him. There is no reason for a potentially lethal use of force.

If a person has been struggling for a prolonged period, and has an elevated heart rate, then that is all the more reason not to use a device that could potentially kill them. Common sense for a "trained law enforcement officer".
