Inquest into DJ's death hears of 'two main failures'


The use of police restraint in managing a Belfast DJ who died in hospital hours after an incident involving the PSNI should have been the "last thing" on officers' minds, an inquest has heard.
Eric Baskind, a consultant in the use of physical interventions and restraints, made the assessment at the inquest into the death of Gerard McMahon.
The 36-year-old, from Short Strand, became unresponsive while being restrained by officers called to a disturbance in Belfast city centre on September 8, 2016.
Earlier this week the inquest, overseen by Coroner Joe McCrisken, heard the Belfast man was suffering from acute behavioural disturbance (ABD), a condition that should have been treated as a medical emergency.
