'Heavy' cocaine use and 'struggle against restraint' played role in death of dad-of-four handcuffed naked by police
The death of a dad-of-four following his arrest outside his family home in Oldham was 'multifactoral' an inquest has heard.
An ambulance was initially called to check him over but was then cancelled shortly afterwards with the officer who called it previously telling the inquest he had been told Mr Moura was responding and was 'fine.' Dr Naomi Carter told the jury she believed his death was 'multifactoral' and that the incident had to be taken 'in its entirety.'
However, she said she believed the effects of the drug are 'likely to have interacted with the physiological effects of the circumstances of his arrest.' When asked if he may have still suffered a cardiac arrest due to the cocaine alone and without the influence of the other factors in her conclusion, Dr Carter said: "It's a possibility I cannot exclude."
