Bodyguard of Rihanna, Lady Gaga, And Beyonce Pronounced Dead After Being Tasered By Miami Cops

Forty-three-year-old Norman Oosterbroek, a former protector of some of Hollywood's biggest names, was not able to protect himself from the policemen which responded to a distressed neighbor's call.

The 6-foot-5 bodyguard entered one of his neighbor's Miami mansions at 10:45 p.m. without wearing any clothes at all. Homeowners Markus and Christiane Jung called for security after hearing a noise outside their property. Oosterbroek and his two children were renting a $500,000-home beside the Jungs. The celebrity guard was allegedly ingesting drugs while physically harassing the mansion's residents.

The cops from Pinecrest, Florida had no choice but to taser Oosterbroek in the chest after fighting with the policemen in an attempt to not be taken into custody. He died shortly at the nearby Baptist Hospital.

"He was highly violent, uncontrollable, and obviously wasn't stable," claimed Nancy Perez, the official spokeswoman of the Miami-Dade police headquarters.

According to Herald, apart from separating from his wife April McDaniel, he had been in and out of rehabilitation for a couple of years.

Tagged as the 'Dutch Giant' because of his tall frame, Oosterbroek was seen as a constant companion of the abovementioned pop stars. He often went with them even  in international tours to shield such A-listers from both fans and paparazzi. He started his guarding career in Africa with the 95-year-old Nelson Mandela.

The former celebrity employers of the killed bodyguard have not yet spoken about the incident.
