The great-grandmother who was tasered by police in an incident that outraged the nation has died from her injuries.

The Daily Telegraph said Clare Nowland, 95, died in Cooma, Australia hospital on Wednesday night surrounded by family.

Her family told the newspaper her death came shortly after the officer who discharged the taser at the 95-year-old was charged with three offenses. NSW Police later issued a statement confirming Nowland’s death.
