UTEP police officers arrived and used a stun gun on the man because he was combative, officials told the El Paso Times. Officers then called for medical help because the man was unresponsive.

Officials said the man, whose name has not been released, was pronounced dead at University Medical Center of El Paso. His cause of death is not yet known.

The Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Rangers are investigating.
