As sketchy as Excited Delirium appears to be on first glance, there's enough body-cam footage to so that, yeah, something happens to junkies when they get adrenalin, a tazer deployment, and wrestled to the ground. It shouldn't be enough to go into Cardiac Arrest, but we absolutely see it, and we can't rule out the drugs as a major contributing factor.
It’s basically your brain/body going berserk with adrenaline while the drugs you’re on cause altered dopamine and serotonin levels. Hyperthermia is common and cardiopulmonary death is always the result.

I feel like we also can't leave out the tazer. Delivering an electrical shock across your heart has to contribute to the problem too.
They’ve studied tazers excessively, ecgs at the very least don’t show any impact on healthy sober people. On a drug fueled guy however, who knows.
Yeah, that's my concern. If we're sure that the drugs will fuck with the heart, 30,000 volts across it should fuck it up too.
