Investigators say deputies answering the prowler call in Eastvale early Sunday chased the man after he tried to break into a house. Eastvale is north of Norco in western Riverside County.
The Riverside Press-Enterprise ( http://bit.ly/XJRFyg) says there was a struggle and deputies shocked him with Taser stun guns at least twice before he was tied up.
The 6-foot-5, 250-pound suspect stopped breathing and died at a hospital.
