     Pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a) of Regulation 13D-G of the General Rules and
Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Westar
Capital, Inc., a Kansas corporation (the "Reporting Person"), hereby amends and
supplements its Statement on Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting
Person on January 26, 1996, as most recently amended on August 14, 1997 by
Amendment No. 14 thereto (the "Statement"), with respect to the Common Shares,
par value $0.20 per share (the "Shares") of Tyco International Ltd., a Bermuda
corporation formerly known as ADT Limited (the "Issuer"). Unless otherwise
indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the
meaning assigned to such term in the Statement.


     Item 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.

     No material change.

     Item 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

     No material change.

     Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

     Not Applicable.

     Item 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.

     In order to obtain what the Reporting Person considered to be a favorable
price for Shares, the Reporting Person sold 5,424,964 Shares since the filing of
Amendment No. 14 to the Statement.

     Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     (a)   After the sale of Shares, as set forth below, the Reporting Person
           beneficially owns 7,000,000 Shares, or approximately 2.8% of the
           outstanding Shares, based on a total number of outstanding Shares
           of the Issuer of 243,231,006 on August 6, 1997 as reported in the 
           Issuer's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.

     (b)   No material change.

     (c)   Since the filing of Amendment No. 14 to the Statement, the Reporting
           Person has sold 5,424,964 Shares effected in a block transaction on
           September 8, 1997. The Reporting Person accepted competing sealed
           bids from broker-dealers in connection with such transaction, and the
           Shares were sold to Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette at a price of $82.25
           per share net to the Reporting Person.

     (d)   No material change.

     (e)   Since the filing of Amendment No. 14 to the Statement, and as a
           result of the sale of Shares by the Reporting Person, as described in
           Item 5(c), the Reporting Person ceased to be a beneficial owner of
           more than five percent of the outstanding Shares. Accordingly, this
           Amendment No. 15 is the final amendment to the Statement.
