[Insider] Fitness YouTuber Erich Stelzer, 25, died in custody on Thursday after police found him attacking his Tinder date with a knife and used stun guns on him, according to a press release from the Cohasset, Massachusetts, Police Department.
Police received a call about a disturbance and found Stelzer assaulting a 24-year-old woman with a knife, the district attorney's office told Boston 25 News.
The woman, identified as Maegan Tapley, had reportedly met Stelzer on Tinder. She sustained extensive stab and slash wounds and was able to escape when police arrived on the scene, according to authorities.
Police said they tried to control Stelzer with "tasers." Tasers are a brand of electroshock weapon that are said to be nonlethal but have the potential to stop someone's heart.
"In an effort to rescue the victim and disarm Stelzer, Cohasset Police officers used tasers [sic] to subdue Stelzer," the Cohasset Police Department said in a statement posted to Facebook on Friday. "Stelzer was immediately provided medical attention by EMTs. During transport to a local area hospital, Stelzer became unresponsive and was later pronounced dead."
