An inquest into the death of a 95-year-old woman with dementia continues, with evidence focusing on how responders managed the situation. Multiple outlets report that the inquest hears discussion about whether the woman should have been shot with a Taser or allowed to calm down first. The court hears that there was concern the woman could injure herself with a knife, even though she was elderly and affected by dementia. Despite that risk, testimony presented to the inquest indicates that leaving her to settle rather than using a Taser was considered preferable. The reporting across sources does not identify new conclusions about liability or medical cause of death, but it frames the central issue as a decision-making question for responders: whether de-escalation and waiting for calm was the safer option, compared with using the Taser. The inquest is ongoing.
