Vegas man dies after police use Taser to subdue him

A 47-year-old man is dead after a police officer used a Taser gun to subdue   him during a struggle. Officers responded late Monday to a condominium complex after someone called   911 to report a roommate who was acting unusual. When officers arrived, they found the roommate, whom the coroner's office identified as Keith Tucker of Las  Vegas, talking incoherently. Authorities say the officers used their batons and a Taser gun to subdue  Tucker after they say he punched one of the officers in the chin and kicked another in the chest and legs. Once they got Tucker handcuffed, the officers   noticed he was having difficulty breathing. Officials say the officers performed CPR and called an ambulance. Tucker   later died at Desert Springs Hospital. Sheriff Bill Young has said he is rethinking the department's policy   following the Taser-related death of a handcuffed man in February. [more]
