Authorities say a stun gun did not cause the death of a man who struggled with Kansas City, Kansas police last week.
The Wyandotte County coroner says 44-year-old Keith White died from excited delirium due to cocaine. Keith was stunned with a Taser while police investigated reports of a man taking off his clothes and smoking drugs.
Coroner Alan Hancock said yesterday he ruled out a jolt from the stun gun as the cause of White's death.
A few minutes after police used the stun gun, White complained about breathing difficulties. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Taser stun guns fire electrically charged darts that carry 50,000 volts for several seconds, temporarily immobilizing their targets.
