Bain of His Existence: Man Dies in Mother’s Home After Being Tasered Twice by Police

We have another death associated with a taser. Darryl Bain, 43, was tasered twice and died in the Long Island home of his mother in Coram, New York.

His brother called police to report that Bain was high on cocaine and had barricaded himself in the house with his 78-year-old mother. She had an existing order of protection against her son.

The police say that Bain fought with three officers and died after two taser shots.

The police may have been justified in the use of force, but this death (once again) raises questions over the risks associated with this “non-lethal” weapon.

We have seen other such fatal taserings, here, here, here, here , here, here, here and here.
