Victoria -- B.C.'s Police Complaints Commissioner has ordered an investigation of the use of Taser guns after a man died in Vancouver when police used one on him.

Dirk Ryneveld has asked Victoria Police Chief Paul Battershill to head the probe, which will examine whether Tasers can be deadly when used by police.

Robert Bagnell died in Vancouver on June 23 after he was hit by a police Taser, which emits a high-voltage charge.
