The family of a 95-year-old woman who died after being tasered by police in Australia paid tribute to her on Thursday, as the premier of the state where the incident occurred expressed confidence in its police force.
Clare Nowland, who had dementia, died in hospital on Wednesday, police in New South Wales (NSW) said.
She was tasered after staff found her holding a knife outside her room in the care home where she lived in Cooma in southeastern Australia on May 17, police said at the time.
