In the South Bay, medical examiners say taser guns used by San Jose police to subdue a man played a role in that man's death. The main cause of Jose Rios' death in November was heart failure, during his fight with officers obesity and cocaine-related heart disease were also listed as factors. But the coroner's office concluded another contributory cause of death was tasering and pepper spraying.
Investigators say Rios began fighting with police after arguing with his wife and trying to grab their four-year-old son.
