Tip for best answer: M$5.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

From June 2001 and June 2007, at least 245 cases of deaths of subjects soon after having been shocked using Tasers.

Here are more grim statistics:

According to a 2006 article:
http://www.inthesetimes.com/article/2894/

In 2001, Amnesty International recorded three Taser-associated deaths.
This number has increased each year, peaking at 61 in 2005.

Amnesty's reports between 2001 and 2008, 334 people died after being struck by Tasers.

According to Amnisty Internation 2009 Report, 334 people were killed by Taser Guns from 2001 to 2009, in the US alone.

Taser Death Map has good information on Canada, as well:

Using Amnesty International's own numbers approximately 48 people die each year after a TASER device was used on them. Any death is unfortunate, but to put it in perspective tobacco kills 435,000 people each year and physicians accidentally kill 195,000. Even walking accross the road is more deadly (4,092 deaths per year).
