The man, identified as 33-year-old Adam Spencer Johnson, of Winter Haven, was taken to Dr. P. Phillips Hospital after the incident and was pronounced dead, police said.
According to Orlando police, officers working off duty at the theme park were called by Universal Orlando security at 12:25 a.m. about a person who was acting irrationally -- pacing back and forth, pulling his hair and rubbing his beard -- in front of the theater at Universal CityWalk.
"The security from Universal said that he may have been grabbing a patron. His behavior was completely irrational," Orlando police Sgt. Barb Jones said.
When officers tried to restrain Johnson, he violently resisted, so an officer shocked him with a Taser, police said. Johnson was then handcuffed, according to police.
While Johnson was on the ground, he became non-responsive, police said. The officers performed CPR on Johnson, who was then taken to the hospital.
Police said a toxicology report will determine if drugs or alcohol played a factor in Johnson's behavior.
Orlando police said there's surveillance video of the incident, and it was turned over to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, which will investigate the death.
All of the Orlando police officers, one of whom was on patrol and four who were working off duty, will be placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure.
