People have died after being hit with a Taser. That's not the same thing as being killed by a Taser.

The guy at Vancouver airport, for example, died after being zapped with two Tasers. However, the autopsy was unable to determine what killed him.

Are you aware of any Taser-related death in which it has been proven that the Taser caused or even contributed to the person's death? My understanding is that, in every case so far, it has either been determined that the Taser did not cause the person's death, or the autopsy was unable to pinpoint the cause of death.

I don't own stock in the Taser company or have any other vested interest in it, btw.
