Abstract

The TASER(R) gun has been used as an alternative one instead of lethal weapons, but death following Taser gun use has been reported. In Korea, the case of eye injury by Taser gun was reported, but the case of Taser gun-related death has not been known. Recently we experienced a case of lethal stab injury after the use of Taser gun. On the basis of this case and current available articles, we need to be aware of the potential injury patterns in cases of death or injury associated with Taser gun.
