Premium Content Subscriber only IN the early hours of the morning, a panicked wife anxious about her husband's deteriorating mental health calls for help. Before day breaks, the man is dead. Instead of receiving mental health care, he died in police custody just metres from his home, allegedly after junior officers "spear-tackled" him, shoved his face in the dirt and used a controversial neck hold to restrain him. Questions about the actions of Townsville police have been raised just a month before Queensland Coroners Court probes the death of Trevor King, known culturally as Noomba, on February 10, 2018. Shortly before his death, his wife Regina King called triple-0 out of concern for his welfare as he was under the influence of toxic inhalations and talking of suicide.
