The Middletown Police Department has announced in a press release that the death of a suspect in police custody last May was not a result of criminal or unreasonable police actions. This is the finding of an investigation by the Connecticut State Police, whose report was reviewed by Middlesex County State’s Attorney, Timothy Liston.
On May 24, 2010, Efrain Carrion struggled with officers, tried to choke a police dog, and attempted to flee. Carrion died after being tasered multiple times.

He did not die from being TASED. He died from "excited delerium"!
No one can say exactly what this poor man died from except the coroner. It's been reported he was in a meltdown of some kind when the police were called, maybe an emotional breakdown of some kind or possibly alcohol was involved. It's also been reported he died from being tased. So perhaps the combination of both caused this. One thing for sure, if the report is true that he was tased over 30 times, this is unreasonable force of a weapon by the officers. If this happened to a loved one of mine, I don't believe I could ever rest after this. Tasers disrupt the nervous system and cause pain throughout the entire body. If protocol was followed, it should take less than five taser contacts to subdue a suspect. The justice system has not done their job.
