Falling down without being tased, you could act to protect yourself with your arms / legs. While being hit with a taser, your muscles are incapacitated so you can't even protect your head. So even if it wasn't the direct cause it certainly seems to have contributed.
Sort of similar to the elderly gent tasered in Wal-Mart during the Black Friday sale. Tasered, then smacked his head on ground.

Correction: Wal-Mart guy was leg swept by police, not tasered, so ignore that. Also only 54, so not exactly elderly ... time for me to go to bed
