Utah Man Dies in Police Tasering
--------------------------------



In Utah, a thirty-two-year-old man has been killed in a tasering by
police. Brian Layton Cardall was confronted after running away from his
vehicle near a highway road. He had recently struggled with mental
health issues, and his wife had called police. When Cardall was found, a
police officer used his taser weapon, causing Cardall to lose
consciousness. He was pronounced dead after being taken to a hospital.
In a statement, Cardall’s family remembered him as “a wonderful son,
brother, father, and husband who loved being with people. He was full of
personality and wanted to make a difference in this world.”
