MIAMI -- A South Florida man is dead after being Tasered by police Friday morning.

Police said Kenneth Oliver was acting strangely, knocking on people's doors in the middle of the night and screaming for help.

When police arrived in the neighborhood, they told Oliver to get down and put his hands behind his back.

Witnesses said they saw police use a Taser three different times when Oliver did not comply.

Miami-Dade police have not commented on the death, but said an investigation was under way to determine what exactly happened.
