An autopsy found Keenan Anderson died from the effects of an enlarged heart and cocaine use. But a lawsuit filed Monday says the death was caused by LAPD repeatedly Tasering Anderson.

Attorneys said police used a Taser on Anderson six times, causing his heart to later flutter and ultimately fail. He died hours later at a hospital. “I don’t think there’s going to be a challenge to the determination that there were in fact drugs in Mr. Anderson’s system,” Douglas said during a Monday morning news conference. “The video shows he died because he was Tasered more than six times on the back of his heart. We will have experts that will confirm the connection between the actions of police and his death.”
The Los Angeles Police Protective League, the union that represents LAPD officers, issued a statement earlier saying Anderson escalated the confrontation with his behavior, which included running away from officers into traffic.
