A woman who was allegedly high on bath salts as she choked and punched her three-year-old son has died after state troopers used a Taser to subdue her.
Pamela McCarthy, 35, went into cardiac arrest after the struggle with police at her apartment in Munnsville, New York and later died in hospital.
It is just the latest incident involving bath salts, an illegal synthetic drug believed to be behind a spate of violent attacks across the country.
