MILFORD, Del. (AP) - Delaware State Police say a man who was hospitalized in critical condition three weeks ago after being hit with a police stun gun has died.
Authorities say they are awaiting autopsy results on 35-year-old Lionel Waters, who died Saturday at a hospice center.
Investigators say Waters got into a struggle with police on Dec. 20 at a Milford home where troopers had gone to arrest another man.
Police say Waters was hit with a stun gun after brandishing a handgun and refusing commands to drop it.
Police say Waters, who may have been intoxicated and continued to struggle with police after being tased, suffered cardiac arrest and lost consciousness.
The trooper involved in the incident, a six-year veteran, has been placed on administrative duties.
