A developer removed the mural, leaving Mr Clarke s family devastated The mayor of Lewisham said he “strongly supports” a new memorial to a Black man who died after being restrained by police in Catford. Responding to an open letter from Black Lives Matter UK, Mayor Damien Egan said he has also asked a new diversity forum to explore what would be the most “fitting tribute”. Kevin Clarke, who had schizophrenia, died in March 2018 after being restrained by officers in a field. An inquest at Southwark Coroner s Court last year heard that the 35-year-old told officers “I’m going to die” as he was put into handcuffs, but was “ignored” and then lost consciousness as he was taken to an ambulance.
