BURNABY, B.C. — A coroner's inquest has heard from two people whose 911 calls set off the Vancouver police response that led to the beating death of another man by several officers.
Reza told the inquest he ran outside after hearing his mother's screams and saw Gray, who was shirtless and appeared to be intoxicated or having a"breakdown." He sprayed her with the hose and made sexual remarks, telling her you're"beautiful" and"you're so hot," she told the inquest through a Turkish-speaking interpreter.
Majidigoruh became emotional as she answered questions from Ian Donaldson, a lawyer for Gray's family. She said she had also been concerned for Gray, agreeing through a Farsi language interpreter that he did not appear to be"himself."The rest are expected to testify over the coming days. He recalled Gray being"a little bit aggressive" toward the officer, who then returned to her vehicle.
Gray was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after an episode in high school, around 1999, but to her knowledge, he was stable after that, she told the jury.
