Dude was an ok player... Became famous for taking racist abuse from opposing fans and then scoring this goal: It's a long read... But basically he was tasered by cops after a disturbance... RIP though - the dude was a good guy. http://news.sky.com/story/ex-aston-villa-player-dies-in-police-tasering-10537438
At least they tend to use (usually) non-lethal measures in the UK. Shame he died, especially if most people liked him and had no issues with him, but at least the UK cops didn't intentionally fill him with lead.
If you thought you were going to get non lethal alternative to a lethal weapon, you have another thing coming. Yeah yeah yeah, you got another thing coming.
