How they died

No

On the basis of a witness account, Nelson's family was certain that officers used a Taser on him before he had a medical emergency and died while being arrested. The police were equally sure that Tasers were not used. Nelson had been released from jail only the previous day, and was detained on suspicion of breaking and entering.
