The family of a 25-year-old YouTube bodybuilder who was tased to death by Massachusetts police who found him violently stabbing a woman he met on Tinder says EMTs refused their request to have him admitted for psychiatric care.
Erich Stelzer's family said that while they sought to get him help for his declining mental health, there was no indication that he would become violent, according to WBTS-TV.
Stelzer, who was suffering from delusions, erratic behavior, and extreme paranoia, was receiving treatment for mental health issues in the weeks leading up to last Thursday's stabbing.
On Christmas Day, the family called police and EMTs asking that he be hospitalized immediately due to a psychotic episode.
But the EMTs declined to hospitalize him because he was 'lucid enough to know his own name and the date.'
Erich Stelzer, who has frequently posted videos to YouTube of his fitness routine, stabbed 24-year-old date Maegan Tapley, (pictured left Facebook) late Thursday. The bodybuilder later died after he was tased by police. The victim will likely lose her eye, police said
The next day, the family hired a team to help bring Stelzer to an inpatient facility. But the attack took place before the team had a chance.
'The family of Erich Stelzer wishes to express its deepest sympathy for the victim and her family,' family attorney Philip G. Cormier said in a statement.
'They are without words to adequately communicate their grief and sorrow at the events that transpired, the physical and mental pain caused to the victim, and the loss of life of a young man who was someone's little brother and someone's son.'
Cohasset police arrived to Erich Stelzer's residence around 10pm when they said he repeatedly slashed his date, 24-year-old veterinary assistant Maegan Tapley, in the face with a knife.
District Attorney spokesperson Peggie Krippendorf said in a statement: 'In an effort to rescue the victim and disarm Stelzer, Cohasset police officers used Tasers to subdue Stelzer.'
Stelzer became unresponsive soon after the tasing, and stopped breathing while being transported to the hospital.

The victim, meanwhile, was treated for severe injuries. Police said she will likely lose her eye.
Tapley's mother, Susan Tapley, said in a statement seen on NBC Boston that her daughter will recover from the traumatic attack.
'She's going to mend, she's going to be alright.. it's going to take time to recover. She'll need plastic surgery and an eye specialist,' she said.
A source told WBZ-TV that Stelzer was in an 'altered mental state' or suffering a 'possible mental health issue' at the time of the domestic violence incident.
His neighbor, Fred Siegel, told the local station: 'It’s unfortunate you never want to see anybody get hurt and you certainly don’t want to see someone die over something.
The horrific incident happened at Stelzer's home in Cohasset, Massachusetts
Police arrived to the home around 10pm Thursday after they received a call about a 'disturbance'
'It’s unfortunate that it happened and who knows why it happened.'
It's currently unclear what transpired between the two before the brutal slashing that occurred just two days after Christmas.
The pair recently linked up on the popular hook-up dating app, Tinder. The man is estimated to be 6'8" and nearly 300lbs. The girl appears petite.
The District Attorney's office has not given word on a possible motive for the stabbing.
Further investigation is now underway.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
