JACKSONVILLE, FL (AP) -- The family of a schizophrenic woman who died after being shocked by a Taser 10 times is suing the City of Green Springs and two of its police officers in federal court.

An autopsy categorizes 56-year-old Emily Delafield's 2006 death as a homicide and lists Taser shocks as a contributory cause. The main cause of death was cardiomegaly (an enlarged heart) due to hypertensive heart disease (high blood pressure).

Delafield, who was obese and confined to a motorized chair, died after she was shocked by Green Cove Springs police officers Barbara Luedtke and James Acres, for a total of 121 seconds.

The lawsuit was filed by her nephew and executor of her estate, Ryan Delafield. It alleges the officers were not adequately trained in dealing with people suffering from mental illness or those having a mental health crisis.

Police Chief Robert Musco declined comment on the suit.
