VANCOUVER - RCMP in British Columbia say a 36-year-old man who was injured after an altercation with police has died in hospital.

Police told a news conference today in Vancouver that Robert Knipstrom died in hospital overnight.

On Monday, police used pepper spray, a Taser and their batons on the Chilliwack, B.C., resident, who reportedly was acting erratically in a Chilliwack rental store.

Knipstrom was taken to hospital in critical condition and police say it's unclear if the Taser ever made contact.

The Mounties say B.C.'s coroner's office has launched an investigation into the exact cause of death.

The death comes as the Mounties face scrutiny over the death of Robert Dziekanski, the Polish immigrant who died at Vancouver airport last month after officers used a Taser and manhandled him.

How many are going to have to die before the public demands a Taser gun ban ?

I hope they will not be like the USA and say, oh well, long as it wasn't me, who cares.
