A 48-year-old man who died after being Tasered by police has been named locally as former Aston Villa striker Dalian Atkinson, according to the Press Association.
Atkinson, 48, died around 90 minutes after he was hit by a stun gun in Meadow Close in the Trench area of Telford, Shropshire, at around 1.30am on Monday.
A neighbour, who did not want to be named, told PA: "I had known him since he was a little boy, he was a famous footballer at one time. He was friendly, he had no trouble that I know of."
West Mercia Police said officers were called amid concerns "for the safety of an individual" and deployed Taser.
