A man who had doused himself in petrol turned into a human fireball when police shot him with a Taser.
Andrew Pimlott, 32, suffered horrific injuries in the confrontation outside his house and died in a hospital burns unit five days later.

The 50,000-volt volley was fired after he threatened to kill himself while holding a canister of fuel in one hand and a naked flame in the other.
Jack Fry, who saw the incident, said: ‘There were three screams. Then we saw a man, fully on fire, from top to bottom, like you see on a film, with his arms swaying around.
‘We saw two police officers appear from the side of the house. One of them jumped on the burning man and put him on the floor. -DAILYMAIL
