Everybody tasered that's coming to us has to go to an ER first, usually with admission to CCU to keep an eye on cardiac enzymes. Nobody who's gone through that had died in our care, cocaine use or not. The two crack users who did didn't get their levels monitored and treated for a day or two.
And yes, I should have specified crack cocaine use. I don't know if the regular old nose candy ups the ante or not.
Cause of death is heart failure. Autopsies usually don't get more specific than that. Real life is not CSI.
