Independent investigators are probing the death of a suspect whom Mounties Tasered during an arrest for allegedly stabbing a dog Wednesday afternoon in Chilliwack, B.C., police say.
RCMP said they were first called at 4:11 p.m. about a complaint of a man stabbing a dog. Officers attempted to arrest the suspect, but a struggle ensued so Mounties used a Taser to subdue him, RCMP said.
Moments later the man appeared unresponsive, so officers began CPR until paramedics arrived.
The man was pronounced dead in hospital. One officer was injured during the arrest. He was taken to hospital and has since been released.
The dog is receiving treatment.
The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. has taken over, as is the case when police are involved in a death or serious injury.

...and IF he didn't resist arrest, he would still be alive.

The moral to this story; "don't resist arrest." :roll:
