An autopsy has determined that a teen who died after he was shocked with a Taser by a police officer four months ago suffered cardiac arrest.

The Charlotte Observer obtained the autopsy report Friday. It found the Taser shot and the stress from the incident caused 17-year-old Darryl Wayne Turner's heart to beat so wildly that it stopped pumping blood.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say they were called to the grocery story Turner worked at on March 20 because he was arguing with his manager ...

Turner is the first person to die after being shot by a taser by a Charlotte-Mecklenburg officer.
