Security camera footage relating to the Taser death of an international student in Sydney two months ago has been broadcast on a major Brazilian network.
The vision -- taken from security cameras inside a convenience store -- shows a man resembling Roberto Laudisio Curti, and was taken shortly before his death.
The video, which was broadcast by national Brazilian network RedeTV!, was obtained by SBS Portuguese contributor Marcos Moreira.
Mr Curti, a young Brazillian studying in Australia, died after being tasered during an altercation with police in central Sydney earlier this year.
His death is now the subject of a Coronial investigation, being overseen by the Ombudsman.
