Yes.

While an average healthy person will get off with severe discomfort, people with certain kinds of illnesses, especially heart problems, can die from a taser inducing irregular heartbeat or a seizure.

Tasers very rarely kill. They are considered non-lethal force. However, in some cases, it can cause cardiac arrhythmia, which can be fatal. Officers must go through taser training, including human rights legislation and being tased themselves, in order to to minimize the use of tasers. They are known to have some risk, but they are a valuable tool to help contain a situation without the use of firearms.
