Two Halifax men died in the span of less than one week after they were Tasered by police.

Nova Scotia’s police watchdog is investigating both incidents.

Criminologists say the deaths are a reminder that police are rarely the appropriate people to respond to mental health crises, and that conducted energy weapons can be lethal.
