He died from suffocation, with like 2 cops sitting on top of him. He hadnt done anything violent, he was just confused and shouting.

He did not die of Suffocation. They can see if that is the case during the autoposy.
The principal cause of death as "sudden death during restraint", with a contributory factor of "chronic alcoholism" often called "Excited Delerium" - really they do not know what it was, just what it was not
And he was violent, the threw a computer across the room (perhaps he played on P99)
which prompted the call to the police.
I am not saying they should or should not have tased him 5 times. But it was a major deal hear and use of tasers in Canada have been restricted.
