A 95-year-old resident of an Illinois nursing home died early Saturday, hours after being shocked with a Taser and bean bag rounds in a confrontation with police.



Authorities said John Wrana was a resident at Victory Centre of Park Forest, on the 100 block of South Main Street in the south suburb. He was threatening paramedics and staff with a cane and a metal shoehorn when police arrived at the complex, they said.



Police said they struck him with a Taser and bean bag rounds after he threatened officers with a 12-inch butcher knife.



Wrana was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where he later died.



A cause of death was not released by Saturday evening.
