Kansas Man Dies After Being Tasered By Police

An investigation continues after a man in Osawatomie died after police used a Taser on him.

Osawatomie police said they responded to a domestic disturbance at 1:15 a.m.

A man came out and talked to police, but then tried to strangle the woman and ran off. Authorities say when the man resisted arrest a block away, police stunned him with a Taser.

Just after being placed in custody, police said Travis L. Maupin, 32, fell unconscious. Authorities say they administered first aid and rushed Maupin to the Miami County Medical Center where he later died.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is investigating.
