Best I can figure, it was invented (or at least inspired by) the Taser corporation (correct me if I’m wrong here).
But it’s not a real cause of death. That being said, it’s usually used to get cops off the hood when someone dies after being Tased.
But now some high guy dies and the police officer might (but probably will not) get in trouble? If there’s any crime here, it sure wasn’t committed by the police.
The story from the New York Times.
And I’ve never heard of this pseudo bullshit medical condition being used in a situation that wasn’t Taser related. Again, correct me if I’m wrong.
And since when did the NYC M.E. buy into the concept of “Excited Delirium”?

Ha! I went to pubmed too. It is a real medical condition used for decades, but our host is right in that it really means (to put a pseudoscientifc spin on it) ideopathic sudden death accompanied by forced restraint while in law enforcement custody.
I´m considering some minor changes regarding the scale, but I´ve not made a decision yet.
