Andre Moura: Dad died after taking cocaine and having 'high-stressing, physical struggle with police', inquest jury concludes
A dad-of-four died having suffered a cardiac arrest in the back of a police van after taking cocaine and being involved in a 'significant' and 'high-stressing, physical struggle' with officers, an inquest jury has concluded.
After learning he was being arrested, the hearing was told Mr Moura began to 'resist' and was kneed, punched and sprayed with CS gas by an officer during attempts to restrain him, during which his clothes also came off. This evening a jury - which has heard four weeks of evidence - formally returned its conclusion. Juror's findings were read by the foreperson at South Manchester Coroners' Court in Stockport.
"He suffered a cardiac arrest in the back of the police van and died after attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful." It followed evidence from an expert A&E consultant Dr Nigel Zoltie, who Ms Mutch said had concluded Mr Moura had a 'massive cardiac arrest' that 'even in a hospital setting no one realised he was going to have' and that he 'couldn't be resuscitated from'.
