Wow. This sounds pretty awful for this dude. His Tinder date went so horribly wrong that he ended up dead:

And now for what the Montreal Gazette left out of its headline:
Erich Stelzer, 24, was tased by cops following a vicious assault on his date Maegan Tapley in Cohasset, Mass. The 6-foot-8-inch Stelzer allegedly stabbed Tapley repeatedly, and although she survived the horrific attack she could lose an eye.
This really is Social Media 101 and they’ve failed:
if your social media editor doesn’t know tweets = headlines now, they need retraining. the actual headline of this story is, “Bodybuilder who was tased by cops after allegedly stabbing woman dies” https://t.co/PBUe7NTpYC

Enjoying the dragging, social media headline writer. It’s going to be a long, long day:
This headline omits that the bodybuilder allegedly stabbed his date multiple times, and she could lose an eye. https://t.co/COrA4wigmx

He repeatedly stabbed the woman he was on a date with. She might lose an eye. The cops intervened and tased him. That’s how he died.
WHY DOESN’T THE HEADLINE SAY WHAT HE DID. https://t.co/MiNNB1oUaR

A date ‘going bad’ is arguing about the movie/restaurant. This wasn’t a ‘horror date’ this was an attempted murder. Report it as such @mtlgazette https://t.co/FfFQFXUem8

A good way to avoid being tased by the police is to not stab a woman repeatedly. https://t.co/qstKYX0JsT
