Mentally ill man was heard saying ‘I can’t breathe’ while being restrained by Met officers in London
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has reopened its investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Kevin Clarke, a mentally ill black man who could be heard saying the words “I can’t breathe” while he was being restrained by police shortly before he died.
The watchdog has admitted the words heard on police body-cam footage were not explored with the police officers when they were interviewed by IOPC officials.
