Fucking phenomenal use of passive voice by the cops there.
"West Mercia Police can confirm that officers responded to a report for the concern for the safety of an individual at approximately 1.30am this morning at an address in Telford," the force said in a statement.
"Upon arrival Taser was deployed and a 48-year-old man, who subsequently received medical attention, was pronounced dead at approximately 3am.
I mean, PV to the point where it's suggesting he received medical attention after he was pronounced dead.
