EL PASO, Texas -- Officials say a naked man who was chasing a female driver has died after university police in Texas used a stun gun on him.

The University of Texas at El Paso says the driver called police early Tuesday to report that a naked man was running after her car. 

Officials say campus police officers arrived and used a stun gun on the man because he was combative. 

The man was then taken to an El Paso hospital, where he was pronounced dead. 

Police have not yet released the man’s name, and his cause of death has not yet been determined. 

 

EDITOR'S NOTE: Reuters reported that worldwide more than 1,000 people shocked with a Taser by police died through the end of 2018.  In 2028, at least 49 people died in the US after being tasered by the police.

I strongly suspect it would be more proper to say he died AFTER being nailed with a "non-lethal" weapon rather than FROM. I also strongly suspect that there was some substance abuse involved in the death.

There is no such thing as Non-lethal force. Just like there is no such thing as a bullet proof vest. Only bullet resistant.
