Man dies after being Tasered by police in Barrow

Mr Burns became unwell following the arrest

A man has died after being Tasered by police officers in Cumbria.

Police were called to Hartington Street, in Barrow, at 18:30 BST on Tuesday, following reports of a 27-year-old man causing a disturbance.
A Taser was used during the arrest of the man, named locally as Dale Burns. He complained of feeling unwell and was taken to hospital, where he died.
The incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
A Cumbria Police spokesman said: "Neighbourhood police officers attended the scene and arrested a male on suspicion of causing criminal damage and, during the arrest, a Taser was deployed.
"The man became unwell following the arrest and was taken to Furness General Hospital by officers.

"At around 9pm the man, who was in his 20s and lived locally, was pronounced dead."
Amnesty International expressed its concern about the wider deployment of Tasers following the incident.
Spokesperson Eulette Ewart said: "While we're not able to comment on the details of this specific tragic incident, Amnesty International has long been concerned at the wider deployment of the Taser across UK police forces.
"Tasers are potentially lethal and therefore should only be used in a limited set of instances where there is a very real threat of loss of life.
"Only officers who receive the highest standard of training on how and when to use Tasers should be armed with these weapons and there must be a high level of accountability whenever Tasers are used."
