The newspaper vendor who was shoved violently by police during the G20 protests died from an “abdominal haemorrhage”, a second post-mortem has concluded.
Ian Tomlinson, who was seen being struck by police and pushed to the floor, was first thought to have died from a heart attack.
But the second post-mortem examination contradicted these findings, Mr Tomlinson's family solicitor said today.
The police officer suspended following the death of Ian Tomlinson during G20 protests has been questioned on suspicion of manslaughter, the Independent Police Complaints Commission said today.
A spokesman for the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said: “Following the initial results of the second post-mortem, a Metropolitan Police officer has been interviewed under caution for the offence of manslaughter as part of an ongoing inquiry into the death of Ian Tomlinson.”
