Exorcism gone horribly, horribly wrong

Police interupted a reported exorcism Saturday in Phoenix. The scene they walked --- or rather pushed, past a door blocked by a bed --- into looked something like this:

A 3-year-old girl --- crying, bloodied and gasping for air.

Her grandfather, his hands around her neck, unphased by blast No. 1 from a stun gun.

His daughter (the girl's mother) naked, also bloody, and chanting something of a religious nature.

After being stunned again, scuffling with police officers and being latched into handcuffs, the grandfather stopped breathing. He couldn't be revived and was pronounced dead at a hospital. The little girl and her mother also were hospitalized, but the extent of their injuries wasn't reported.

Maybe it worked, but I'm skeptical. I'm going to go ahead and call the match. Demons: one. Exorcist: zero.
