Death in police custody: Coroner finds medical assessment of Sentry Taitoko was inadequate

In February 2014, Taitoko was taken into police custody for a breach of the peace early on a Sunday morning.
He'd recently returned to New Zealand from Australia. He'd consumed alcohol, methamphetamine and cannabis and “not slept for some days”, Coroner Bell previously said.

Taitoko was in Manurewa and had also taken what was described to police as a tab of LSD.
Taitoko arrived at the Counties Manukau district custody unit about 1.45am on February 23.
He was placed in cell with no furniture and, with most of his clothes removed, left in his boxer shorts.
