The Independent Police Complaints Commission is recommending that police use of Tasers is reviews. It follows the death of Andrew Pimlott in Plymouth after being Tasered by police officers after he doused himself in petrol.
An inquest has heard how a police officer tried to prevent a man who was covered in petrol setting fire to himself in Plymouth - by shooting a Taser at him.
PC David Beer described the moment his colleague fired the stun gun which led to Andrew Pimlott's death in April 2013.
PC Beer told the court that he arrived at the garden of the house in Coombe Park Lane to join his colleague and saw Mr Pimlott dowse himself in petrol.
He then saw him strike something and saw the flame. He said he thought there was an immediate risk to everyone nearby. He heard PC Hodgkinson's Taser activate and saw Mr Pimlott covered in flames. He covered him in a duvet, then people rushed in with water and paramedics arrived.
Mr Pimlott died in hospital five days after the incident.
PC Peter Hodgkinson says the incident was the first time he had deployed the Tazer.
The Crown Prosecution Service previously decided that there was insufficient evidence to bring any charges against the officers involved.
A police taser was the 'most likely' cause of a man catching fire and dying, an inquest jury concluded today.
An inquest has heard how a police officer who tasered a man who'd doused himself in petrol had never used the weapon before.
The father of Andrew Pimlott told the inquest that he thought his son was "calling his bluff" when he grabbed the petrol can.
