That's very sad, and angering. Tasing isn't considered as "safe" as it once was, it's harmed too many people

In my experience police repeatedly fail to recognize medical emergencies when they confront them.

From the comments, it wouldn't surprise me to learn the poor guy had something like diabetes and was having a low blood sugar situation causing the aggression during the stop (and would predispose to death by tasing).
