✍️ A vulnerable black man, Godrick Osei, died after police dragged him across a bathroom floor and handcuffed him, and an inquest jury concluded that his medical emergency was worsened by his interactions with the officers.
👉 Godrick Osei died after police responded to a call for help at a care home in Truro, Cornwall 👉 He had been experiencing acute behavioural disturbance (ABD) after using cannabis and cocaine, and drinking alcohol 👉 The police officers involved did not recognize ABD and used restraint, which exacerbated Osei's condition 👉 The inquest jury concluded that Osei's death was caused by heart failure related to ABD, drug and alcohol misuse, and mental health difficulties 👉 The jury also concluded that Osei's interactions with the police worsened his condition
