G20 death 'was not heart attack'

[halfpint]

There was a thread about this last week I think, well it turns out the guy did not die from a heart attack but from internal bleeding

A policeman has been interviewed under caution on suspicion of manslaughter after new tests overturned the cause of a newspaper-seller's death.

Ian Tomlinson, 47, was struck and pushed over by a police officer during G20 protests on 1 April in the City.

Now a fresh post-mortem examination has found he died of abdominal bleeding, not a heart attack, as first thought.

Lawyers for the family said the new post-mortem test raised the likelihood of a manslaughter charge.

In its statement, the Coroner's Court said the inquest had looked at the first post-mortem examination carried out after Mr Tomlinson collapsed and died on the evening of 1 April.

That examination, carried out by Dr Freddy Patel, concluded Mr Tomlinson had diseased heart and liver and a substantial amount of blood in the abdominal cavity.

What is not right about this is he was only walking home from work and was not part of the protest, he had his hands in his pockets and was not causing a problem, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The policeman that did this was way out of line IMO.
