then at the inquest the lawyers for the company for police and for the officer who fired the taser they brought out u.s experts there were four of them who gave evidence on galliano's cause of death now three of those experts blamed excited delirium and when the coroner delivered her findings in november 2012
she found that the cause of death was excited delirium.
And the taser use was not really implicated so much in her findings, which was very hard for Antonio's sister to accept.
