Elsewhere in Australia, a 95-year-old woman died after she was tasered by police twice.
Clare Nowland died today in Cooma Hospital, New South Wales, Australia, a week after Senior Constable Kristian White tasered her as he felt threatened that she was holding a knife.
The incident has led to outcry across the world with many people questioning how a 5"2 dementia sufferer is a threat to a police officer with 12 years of experience.
White has been charged with recklessly causing grievous bodily harm, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and common assault.
After Nowland was tasered, she fell to the floor and hit her head — allegedly causing a fractured skull and brain bleed.
Police sent in to investigate what had happened removed her pyjamas for examination, Sky News Australia's Sharri Markson revealed.
She said: "She was left naked in the nursing home. The indignity is horrendous."
NSW police declined to comment on the incident as the investigation is ongoing.
