BODYBUILDER DIES OF TASER GUN BOLT!

London, Aug 18: A 27-year-old bodybuilder in Britain has died after being jolted by a taser gun used by police to normally just stun.
 Dale Burns, a taxi driver by profession, is understood to be the first person in Britain to die by the high-voltage weapon taser gun, Daily Express reported.
 Police were called to his home Tuesday following reports of a domestic incident involving Burns.
 When officers arrived at his home in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria county, at 6.30 p.m., neighbours said 15-stone Burns was alone and smashing up his property.
 A police officer fired thrice from a taser gun when efforts to calm him down and arrest him failed. The taser incapacitated Burns by causing involuntary muscle spasms.
 After being handcuffed, he complained of feeling unwell and was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead at 9 p.m.
 Burn's childhood friend Mike Bowker said: "He stopped playing football, joined the gym and beefed up quite a lot."
 The incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission watchdog. IANS
