According to what I've read since, there had been a disturbance of some sort outside his father's house when the latter had refused him entry. Hardly surprising ... ... if - as has also been reported - Atkinson had, in fact, been under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
However, Atkinson's nephew has said his uncle had been undergoing dialysis for a kidney problem ... and, that being the case, the treatment, coupled with his illness, may well have put additional strain on his heart, given that cause of death was due to cardiac arrest.

It seems to me that tasers are perhaps more suited to the restraining of wild animals than middle-aged human beings, whose health and fitness status is totally unknown.
