Died after being tasered by police, wtf

[DB10GOONER]

This is bizarre. Died 90 mins after being tasered...

RIP.

Was checking Google news a while ago randomly and couldn't believe it. Just why he needed to be tasered I don't know

Shocking

[Rugby Gooner]

Very sad news, thoughts with his family.
I just hope some don't disrespect his memory by hi-jacking the event, and using it as and excuse the upgrade their tech and wardrobe.

Remember that goal against Wimbledon like it was yesterday.

First PL goal of the season.

RIP

Very sad news. I quite liked him and he always seemed to be quite funny. What a terrible thing to happen. RIP.

It's very sad news. He had a lot of talent and seemed a decent bloke. My Villa supporting mates idolised him.

For many footballers, who have been immersed in football for a very young age, it is difficult to carve out a role for themselves after their career is finished.

I remember Razor Ruddock saying that he found it really difficult after he retired. He hadn't cut his own toenails for 15 years and didn't know how to make a doctor's appointment.

Well that belly of his would have stopped him there.
