A youtuber and bodybuilder died after being tasered by police.
Police arrested Erich Stelzer while he was attacking a tinder date with a knife.
The incident is still being investigated so we don’t know too much at this time, but
we will tell you what we know so far.
Hello and welcome back to inform overload, I’m charlotte dobre, and if you need a place
to get your youtube news, give that subscribe button a good old smash.
Stories like the one I’m about to tell you make me terrified to date anyone.
That and watching You on Netflix.
Not watching you you, per say, the series is called you and its about a stalker.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
But enough about Netflix, lets talk about this horrific tinder date that left one woman
with stab wounds and her date dead from a police taser.
Megan tapley is 24 years old, and a veterinary assistant.
She met erich on tinder, and they went on a date on December 27th in Cohasset Massachusetts.
But at some point during the date, Erich began stabbing megan.
The attack took place at erichs home.
Police officers showed up to the scene at around 10 pm , where they found erich repeatedly
stabbing megan.
Police used stun guns on Stelzer, and afterward he became unresponsive while being taken to
the hospital.
She is expected to survive but if the police hadn’t showed up in time, its likely she
would have died from the attack.
She will be recovering for a long time, however, and will need plastic surgery.
According to reports, her eye is badly hurt.
Eric stelzer was 25 years old.
He was a bodybuilder and youtuber.
On his channel, he posts fitness videos.
He actually doesn’t have a lot of subscribers, he has only around 400 of them, but his videos
have racked up thousands of views.
From the comments, it seemed he only had less than 100 before the attack.
People in the comments have been trolling his videos since then as well.
The investigation is still ongoing, and the cause of erich’s death are pending because
police are waiting on the toxicology testing results.
According to Erich’s family, he was suffering from delusions and paranoia.
He was receiving care from mental health professionals for the last month.
Apparently things really started getting bad on Christmas day.
Believing that eric was on the verge of a psychotic break, his family called 911.
EMT showed up to the scene and said that eric was lucid enough to know his name and the
date.
Essentially, they said that he didn’t need help.
After the emt visit, Erichs family hired professionals to bring erich to a treatment facility, but
before they could do that, erich went on the tinder date, and attacked Megan Tapley.
Erichs Father Harry did an interview with CBS News, where he said that he believes police
were too hard on his son.
He will be consulting an attorney.
He did however say that he felt sorry for the victim.
Harry Stelzer said he has a high priced lawyer, and he’s not looking for money, he’s looking
for justice.
Erich was a big man, he was 6 foor 8 and 300 pounds.
The stun gun that was used on harry was used 4 times.
There were four police on the scene.
Harry believes that the police could have simply handcuffed his son, rather than delivering
the taser that possibly killed him.
According to Cohasset police chief William Quigley however, officers acted accordingly.
He praised the actions of his officers in a statement that said ‘im extremely proud
of the job my officers did.
They acted heroically and absolutely saved a life.
While its sad that there’s a loss of life, they did great work.
If you guys are interested in donating to megan tapley’s medical expense fund, her
friends have set up a gofund me page that I will link in the description.
On behalf of IO, our hearts go out to Erichs family, and Megan Tapley.
This was a horrible instance of domestic violence that I believe could have been prevented.
