A New York police lieutenant committed suicide this morning after his gun and badge were taken from him, because he ordered the tasing of a naked man who died as a result of the tasing. Here's a video of the tasing incident. WARNING! GRAPHIC: Here's the back story: Sources: NYPD Lt. In Taser Death Commits Suicide Police: Lt. Michael Pigot Shot Himself At Floyd Bennet Field Thursday MorningNEW YORK (CBS) ¯ Sources tell CBS 2 HD News the NYPD lieutenant who authorized the use of a taser stun gun on a naked Brooklyn psychiatric patient committed suicide at Floyd Bennett Field early Thursday morning. According to police, Lt. Michael Pigot shot himself at Floyd Bennet Field early Thursday morning. Last week, a cop tasered a naked, distraught man standing on a second floor ledge in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Inman Morales, 35, jumped up and down on top of a 10-foot high roll-down gate as he swung a florescent light bulb towards police officers who were trying to grab him on a nearby fire escape. An officer on the ground then raised his Taser stun gun and fired a five-second jolt from the 50,000 volt gun, immobilizing him. Morales then fell head-first to his death.
