Michigan teenager dies after police Taser him
WASHINGTON (AFP) — A 15-year old boy died Sunday [March 22, 2009] in Michigan after police used a Taser stun gun to subdue him, police said Monday.
An investigation was opened and an autopsy ordered with police saying it was not clear whether Brett Elder's death was directly linked to the Taser incident.
Police said the trouble began when three police officers were summoned to quell a fight between two males at an apartment in Bay City, Michigan.
