San Bernardino police say a 19-year-old man has died after officers used a Taser to subdue him at a board-and-care facility.
The department says in a news release the man died at a hospital early Saturday.
The release says the officers had been summoned to the facility to investigate a fight involving three people late Friday night.
The release says officers separated the trio but "one of the subjects became combative and a Taser was depolyed to control him."
The man was having trouble breathing, and police called paramedics. He was pronounced dead at a hospital about an hour later.
The man's name and cause of death have not been released.
