A head injury was supposedly the cause of death for a Houston man who died after he was shocked by a Taser gun.  The incident occurred when a Harris County Sheriff’s Deputy pulled the man over during a routine traffic stop Monday evening at approximately 6 p.m.  The officer ordered the driver to get out of his white pick-up truck and there was a brief struggle in which the officer was hit in the chest before the man began to run away.  The man got about 75 feet away before the police officer used his Taser to stop him in his tracks.

When the man fell to the ground, he hit his head.  He was taken by emergency personnel to Northwest Medical Center where he underwent surgery for the injuries he sustained in the incident.  An investigation is still pending.

Jackass star Bam Margera was hospitalized this weekend when a woman attacked him with a baseball bat outside the bar he owns in Philadelphia. Margera sustained head injuries and was taken to intensive care. As a result of the injuries, movie writers have been forced to change the Jackass 3-D script, but authorities say that Margera’s injury will not prevent the movie from taking place.

However, Margera will be unable to perform one of the stunts he was scheduled to perform for the movie in which he receives several blows to the head. Spokespeople say that this scene will have to be re-written because of Margera’s concussion and internal bleeding. The third Jackass movie is set to be released in October.
