THETFORD, Vt. -

A man has died after being tased by Police Wednesday afternoon in Thetford, Vt.

Vermont State Police say, the man, whose name is not being released, was making threats to harm himself and others.

It took police several hours of negotiating with him.

During that time, an officer took out his taser and used it on the man. He was then taken to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center where he later died.

An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday. Vermont State Police will be holding a press conference at 11 a.m. Thursday in Waterbury, Vt.
