Sean’s sudden and untimely death has come as a shock to the family. On 21st Aug ‘08 he was arrested and restrained by Brixton police - he died very shortly after...Why?

"Everyone in custody is owed duty of care by the state. The only way to ensure lessons are learned from these deaths is through effective investigations and inquests and for follow up action on their outcomes to be taken across custodial institutions."

Deborah Coles - co-Director of INQUEST.
