Just asking for a friend...
If he had been tased and thus suffered a heart attack, would the police officer doing the tasing then be guilty of murder?

It would depend on if he were tasing to subdue an attacker or a restrained prisoner. This man was cuffed and restrained.
Numerous people have died from police tasers; some while attacking and/or fleeing, others whie in restraints.
This YouTube video shows a cuffed suspect being tased repeatedly. When unnecessary force is applied to a restrained suspect and they die (from whatever cause), the officer should expect murder charges.
