95-year-old Demented Grandma in Australia Shocked by Police and Sent to Hospital: A Tragedy that Shocks the World

(Agence France-Presse, Sydney, 24th) Clare Nowland, a 95-year-old demented grandmother in Australia, was shocked by police in a nursing home last week and was later taken to hospital in critical condition. Police said today that Norland had tragically passed away. This incident not only caused an uproar in the Australian society, but even made international news headlines.

Agence France-Presse and CNN reported that Noland was on May 17 at the “Yallambee Lodge” (Yallambee Lodge), a nursing home in Cooma, New South Wales (NSW), Australia. ) was shocked by the police.

According to reports, the employees of the nursing home called the police because Noland was carrying a short knife. After the police arrived at the scene, they used a stun gun to deal with her. After being shocked, she fell to the ground and was sent to the hospital for treatment.

The NSW police issued a statement today pointing out that the police confirmed with great sadness that Norland passed away tonight. She passed away peacefully in the hospital, accompanied by her relatives.

Sydney’s Daily Telegraph previously reported Noland, who has eight children, was electrocuted when police arrived at the nursing home with a walker and a knife in her hand.

Police body cameras reportedly captured the incident, but it has not been released to the public so far. According to NSW police guidelines, police should only use stun guns on elderly or disabled people in “exceptional circumstances”.

Noland’s family friend Andrew Thaler said that before the incident, Noland was weak and unable to stand alone. She weighed only 43 kilograms, was 158 centimeters tall, and suffered from dementia. Saylor questioned why it took so long for police to act.

Australian Greens MP Sue Higginson said this week: “Ms Norland’s electrocution sparked outrage in the community and shows that we urgently need police reform.”
