Estate sues San Jose police in death after Taser jolts

"Months after Trujillo's death, a Santa Clara County medical examiner's autopsy report determined his death was caused by blows to his head suffered before his encounter with police. However, the report also cited the Taser shocks as a contributing factor. It was the second time that the coroner's office had labeled Taser shocks as a contributing cause. The first occurred Nov. 18, 2005, when police used Tasers to restrain Jose Angel Rios, a 38-year-old Fresno resident, whose primary cause of death was blamed on obesity, heart disease and drugs."
