Another “TASER death” headline fail – “Lake TASER death investigation.” We’re used to seeing “TASER death” speculative headlines meaning someone died proximal to a TASER deployment but this headline is not accurate.  The story reports that, “Medical conditions and drugs killed Glenn David Norman, not the electrical charge from being shot with Tasers.”  The story actually reports the TASER ECD did NOT kill this man yet the headline still describes it as a “TASER death.”  We’ve contacted the WyanesvilleDailyGuide.com but haven’t received a response.  Apparently, they like to “guide” their readers by misleading them with sensationalistic headlines that don’t reflect what’s being reported in the story. 

Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say “Drug death” or “Medical condition death?”
