A man has died just hours after being restrained and arrested using a taser during a police intervention in La Orotava, Tenerife, on Saturday in the village of Pinolere. Officers from the Local Police and the Guardia Civil were called to respond to a serious domestic disturbance.
According to reports, the man had become extremely agitated and violent, issuing death threats to several members of his family, including his partner, their son, and his own parents.
Authorities were alerted by the family, who feared for their safety due to the man’s increasingly aggressive behaviour. Upon arrival, officers encountered a highly volatile situation. To safely detain the man, local police deployed an electronic control device, commonly referred to as a taser.
Following his restraint and arrest, the man was taken into custody. However, a few hours later, he died.
The Guardia Civil is now conducting a full investigation to determine the exact cause of death. One line of inquiry is whether the man may have been under the influence of drugs or other substances at the time of the incident, as his behaviour was described as being completely out of control.
