G20 death pathologist dishonest - Belfast Telegraph

Tuesday, 14 August 2012

The pathologist who conducted two error-strewn post-mortem examinations of Ian Tomlinson is dishonest, a disciplinary panel has found.

Dr Freddy Patel said that Mr Tomlinson, who was pushed to the ground by a police officer during the G20 protests in London in 2009, had died of coronary artery disease.

A Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service panel found that parts of Dr Patel's examination had been misleading, dishonest and liable to bring his profession into disrepute.

The panel found 68 failings in his work on the Tomlinson case and will now decide if he should be struck off the register.
