Matthew Williams, 34, who was recently released from prison after serving five years for a violent attack on a woman, died not long after police shot him with a Taser stun gun.

“While under arrest, the man became unresponsive. Officers and paramedics administered first aid but he has since been pronounced deceased,” Gwent Police said in a statement.

The probation service is launching an investigation into why Williams was not being monitored following his release, the Daily Mail reports.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating because Williams died in police custody.

The incident occurred early Thursday morning at a hostel in the small village of Argoed in South Wales.
