A 95-year-old woman who was hospitalised after being tasered at a nursing home has died, with a police officer facing three criminal charges over the incident.
Clare Nowland was using a walking frame when she was allegedly tasered by Senior Constable Kristian White last week at Yallambee Lodge aged care facility in Cooma, NSW, after failing to drop a steak knife.
