Report calls for action after holiday park restraint led to father's death
A FATHER-of-three who died after he was “unlawfully” restrained by the neck lost his life because of a lack of training and a failure to take steps to save him, a report has found.
Paul Reynolds, 38, was held in a prone position for around 11 minutes with a knee to his back after an initial neck hold, an inquest at Suffolk Coroner’s Court recorded.
Jurors, who listened to evidence during a three-week hearing, found that the restraint methods were not “appropriate or proportionate” and that Mr Reynolds had not been physically violent.
