07:21 AM EDT on Monday, July 7, 2008



Investigators have new informaton about the bizarre death of a Charlotte teenager who died after police used a taser on him. An autopsy report shows 17-year-old Darryl Turner died of a heart attack. The report reveals the heart attack was caused by Turner's agitated state and associated stress.

Back in March, police were called to the Food Lion grocery store where Turner worked because of an argument between the teenager and his boss. Police say Turner refused an officer's commands to step back and that's why the taser was used.

Turners's family has not said if they will sue the police department or the city over his death.
