Funeral Service To Be Held Thursday For Taser Victim

Funeral services will be held Thursday in the West Village for the emotionally-disturbed man who fell to his death after being hit by a taser fired by a police officer last week.

Iman Morales died Wednesday. He had crawled naked onto the second-story awning of his Brooklyn apartment building, then fell 10 feet after the taser shot struck him in the head.

The NYPD says the officers involved violated department guidelines.

The lieutenant who ordered the taser shot has been stripped of his badge and gun. The officer who pulled the trigger is on desk duty.

Commissioner Ray Kelly has ordered all 440 members of the Emergency Services Unit to take a refresher course Monday at Floyd Bennett Field on how to deal with emotionally disturbed people.
