Assistant-deputy chief coroner Jeff Dolan said an autopsy showed there was no trauma, disease or any other obvious cause of death. Officials are still waiting for the results of toxicology tests and microscopic examinations.

This man didn't have heart trouble. The coroner's autopsy states this.


Read some of the links I just provided, they tell you what happened before the police arrived.

High voltage actually isnt that painful....its the current, you could have several thousand volts at less than a pico amp and not feel thing...

Meh, you say potatoes, I say spuds!!

An electric shock can occur upon contact of a human's body with any source of voltage high enough to cause sufficient current flow through the muscles or hair.

Lethality of a shock

The voltage necessary for electrocution depends on the current flowing through the body and the duration of the current flow. Using Ohm's law, Voltage = Current x Resistance, we see that the current drawn depends on the resistance of the body. The resistance of our skin varies from person to person and fluctuates between different times of day. In general, dry skin isn't a very good conductor having a resistance of around 10,000 Ω, while skin dampened by tap water or sweat has a resistance of around 1,000 Ω.

The capability of a conducting material to carry a current depends on its cross section, which is why males typically have a higher lethal current than females (10 amperes vs 9 amperes) due to a larger amount of tissue. However, death can occur from currents as low as 0.1 to 0.3 amps.

Anyway, I think you get my point...

Yeah, I know, it's wiki, but it's relevant.

But it's only one piece of evidence and it's one persons view. It's through the viewfinder of one individual.
