A judge had ordered a coroner to remove all reference of
taser and or electrical shock from both the death
certificates and medical examiner reports
This string of e-mails gives the background.
This is all I have time for right now. But I have been
on this for months as the string of e-mails show - TR

The search seems to bring up just the one case in
Ohio. Regardless, I suspect that coroners
are probably under some "political influence",
besides this case of a judge ordering it.

Excerpt:
A Summit County Common Pleas judge ordered the county medical examiner
to delete any reference that Tasers contributed to the deaths of three Ohio men.
All three men were in an 'agitated' state and 'on drugs' when police officers shot
them with Tasers, and the judge ordered their deaths be ruled 'accidental' also
that any reference to "homicide or "electrical pulse stimulation" should be deleted
from death certificates and autopsy reports."
Five sheriff's deputies had been indicted on charges related to the death of one
of the men, who also had a history of mental illness. The judge further ordered
that man's death be ruled as "undetermined" and to "delete any references to
homicide and the death possibly being caused by asphyxia, beatings or other
factors."
The court hearing centered around the "very narrow issue" of whether or not
the use of the Taser Model X26 could contributed in any way to the cause of death.
A Taser International spokesman issued the following statement after the court
ruling: "Taser International believed from the beginning that these determinations
of cause of death must be supported by facts, medical research and scientific
evidence," spokesman Steve Tuttle said in a prepared statement Friday.

In response to widespread allegations of abuse of its products,
Taser International got a court ruling forbidding coroners from mentioning taser's
as a cause of death.

Judge orders all references to 'Taser' stricken from medical examiner's reports
Diane Sweet, The Story news
Published: Sunday May 4, 2008
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Judge_orders_all_references_to_Taser_0504.html
(reference also in the second linked in story).
A local San Francisco Bay area community is now using a
taser with a camera mounted on it..
I just caught a news story on KRON 4 TV news and Googled
the subject. But the KRON 4 news said that no deaths have been
shown to have been caused by taser's. Of course they made no
mention of a court ruling forbidding coroners from mentioning taser's
as a cause of death (reference is the second linked in story).
Lists are being compiled of other wrongful deaths by tasers that
have been "covered up".
2 Examples:
1:
From "Law and Disorder
http://lawanddisorder.org/2008/06/
Nearly 400 people in the United States have been killed in Taser-related
deaths in the past 7 years.
Medical examiners are afraid to rule Tasers as the primary or
contributory cause of death out of fear of retribution. In meetings
with coroners, Taser International has actually threatened to sue
if stun guns are cited on death certificates.

--
Excerpt:
In response to widespread allegations of abuse of its products
by police officers, Taser International announced that it would
offer a camera which attaches to its Taser electroshock guns.
The cameras, which will sell for $400, attach to the butt of the
guns, and provide a small black-and-white or infrared video image
which can be downloaded through a built-in USB port. The camera
provides one hour of recording time and is expected to be available
by March 2006.
Now, to help better examine how Tasers are used, manufacturer
Taser International Inc. has developed a Taser Cam, which company
executives hope will illuminate why Tasers are needed — and add
another layer of accountability for any officer who would abuse
the weapon.
