Autopsy Confirms Atlanta Deacon's Death During Arrest as Homicide

TL;DR Summary
The autopsy report has determined that the death of a 62-year-old church deacon in Atlanta, who was electrically shocked by a police officer during an arrest, was a homicide. The medical examiner found that heart disease also contributed to his death. The incident occurred after a minor car crash when the officer used a stun gun on the deacon, who had refused to sign a traffic ticket. The city has since changed its policy to avoid arresting individuals who refuse to sign, and the Atlanta City Council has called for the release of the video footage. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is currently examining the officer's actions.
