Venice

A 31-year-old man who was shocked repeatedly with a Taser during a struggle with LAPD officers in Venice in January died from the effects of heart failure and cocaine use, according to newly released autopsy findings.

Police say the bodies of two men and two women have been recovered following a small plane crash just off Florida’s Gulf Coast. The plane had just taken off from Venice Airport when it crashed into the Gulf of Mexico west of the city’s fishing pier, Venice police said in a news conference Thursday.

Starting in January, Venice will oblige day-trippers to make reservations and pay a fee to visit the historic lagoon city.
