VANCOUVER – The BC Coroners Service says the death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski in an altercation with RCMP officers at Vancouver’s airport six years ago was a homicide.

Homicide is considered a neutral term in coroners’ reports, meaning the death was caused by the actions of another person but it does not imply any blame.

Dziekanski, 40, who did not speak English, became agitated after spending more than nine hours wandering in the airport arrivals’ area in October of 2007 and was confronted by four Mounties who stunned him several times with a Taser.

The incident was captured on amateur video, which fuelled public anger and prompted the government to order a public inquiry headed by former judge Thomas Braidwood.

The coroner’s report says Dziekanski died of a heart attack after the Taser jolts, echoing a similar conclusion made in Braidwood’s report.

“The finding of Mr. Justice Braidwood was that Mr. Dziekanski died as a result of a cardiac arrhythmia,” said coroner Patrick Cullinane.

“He also found that both the multiple deployments of the conducted energy weapon along with the physical altercation contributed to the circumstance leading to the fatal arrhythmia. I concur with the findings of Mr. Justice Braidwood,” Cullinane wrote.

His report also found no other factors in the death, including drugs.

“(The) autopsy showed no significant injuries and no natural disease process that would have likely led to sudden death,” the report said.

Braidwood’s inquiry found the Mounties involved acted too quickly when they arrived at the airport, where Dziekanski had been throwing furniture, and they then used excessive force when one of them repeatedly fired the Taser.

The officers are each facing perjury charges related to their testimony at the inquiry.

Braidwood also conducted a separate inquiry into the general use of Tasers in B.C.

He concluded Tasers have the capacity to kill in certain situations and he said they should be used only in cases involving bodily harm or the threat of bodily harm.
