LOUISVILLE — A corner’s report lists cocaine and underlying heart disease at the causes of a man’s death after Louisville Metro police stunned him with an electronic device.
Thirty-four-year-old Isaac Bass died on July 2 after officers used a stun device to break up a fight between Bass and his brother.
Police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley says Bass went into a “medical emergency” after a police officer shocked him.
Bass was pronounced dead a short time later at hospital emergency room.
The two officers who responded to the fight were placed on routine administrative leave, pending the coroner’s report.
