Death after Taser Use in Coll d'en Rabassa – a Reality Check

Answer

Can a Taser be dangerous for someone in a mental health crisis?

A Taser can be medically risky, especially when a person is also affected by drugs, psychosis, or other health problems. In cases like the one in Mallorca, doctors and investigators need to determine whether the electrical shock played any role in the cardiac arrest. The medical picture is often complex, so conclusions should wait for the forensic report.
