BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) Kentucky State Police say a man involved in a weekend rollover accident has died after officers used a stun gun on him when he became combative.
State Police Trooper B.J. Eaton said Sunday that 52-year-old Michael Roll of Bowling Green was pronounced dead at the Medical Center at Bowling Green.
His statement says two State Police officers and a local sheriff's deputy found Roll's vehicle overturned Saturday night on William Natcher Parkway near bowling Green. Eaton says Roll appeared intoxicated and became combative with officers, who shot him with a stun gun and he became unconscious.
The release says an autopsy was planned Sunday.

Falling is the second leading cause of accidental death (after attending Trump rallies). And accidents are the fourth or fifth leading cause of death.
