Autopsy Says Man Tased By Deputies Died Naturally. — So this decision took months and I guess it depends on how you define “natural.”

An autopsy says a man who died this summer was tased four times by Bertie County deputies. The report lists Clarence Smith’s death as natural. On July 9th, the 29-year-old Smith died at Bertie Memorial Hospital. He was taken to the hospital after being tased by sheriff deputies, south of Windsor.

Deputies were trying to take Smith to the hospital for an involuntary commitment after his sister said he was “acting funny.” The autopsy obtained by WITN News says Smith was tased four times by deputies. About a half hour later, Smith stopped breathing in the hospital emergency room and later was pronounced dead.

The autopsy says there were no drugs found in Smith’s system. The medical examiner listed his death as caused by cardiovascular collapse due to acute psychosis. After a review by the Chief Medical Examiner, it says Smith’s death was natural.

    Pretty soon Americans will be emigrating to Russia in droves, seeking the relative peacefulness of the gulags.

    All joking aside, why do you need to be tased 4 times? Wouldn’t 1 tase knock you off your feet enough for the cops to swoop in and cuff you and whatever. I’ve never been tased, so I’m not really sure on the particulars.

    # 29 Mr. Fusion said, “Not to worry, you really stuck your foot in your mouth again. The police had a warrant to take him to a hospital for an involuntary commitment.”

    ROFL!

    You don’t get the point do you? LOL!

    If you drink a glass of water every two minutes, you will naturally die, too.

    It sounds like you have been involuntarily committed a few times already. That might explain your mind set.
