The British Protestor died of internal bleeding not a heart attack-New postmortem shows the British Goverment pathologist lied
Amateur video obtained by The Guardian shows British police shoving Ian Tomlinson to the ground during the protests against the G-20 summit in London. He died minutes later, and a new autopsy suggests his treatment by the police may have been the reason.
Update | 2:50 p.m. My colleague Sarah Lyall in London has more details in a news article just published on our Web site.
A man who died earlier this month after being forced to the ground by a British police officer during a protest against the Group of 20 summit in London was killed not by a heart attack but by an abdominal hemorrhage, a new autopsy has concluded.
According to a report by The Guardian on Friday, a pathologist working for the Independent Police Complaints Commission in Britain and for the family of the man — Ian Tomlinson, a 47-year-old news vendor who was a bystander at the protests — disputed the findings of a pathologist employed by the British government:
An initial postmortem, by the Home Office pathologist Freddy Patel, found that Tomlinson died after suffering a heart attack. But Nat Cary, the pathologist who carried out a second postmortem at the request of the I.P.C.C. and Tomlinson’s family, concluded that while there was evidence Tomlinson suffered hardening of the arteries in his heart, it was not serious enough to kill him.
Given that there is video evidence, and eyewitness testimony, that Mr. Tomlinson was beaten by a police officer before being thrown to the ground, the new medical finding suggests that his death during the protest might led to criminal charges against at least one British policeman.
Channel 4 News of Britain reports that “the policeman filmed appearing to strike out at 47-year-old Tomlinson has now been questioned under caution for manslaughter.”
Channel 4 News also reports that a statement issued on behalf of Dr. Cary, who carried out the second post-mortem, read:
Dr. Cary’s opinion is that the cause of death was abdominal haemorrhage. The cause of the haemorrhage remains to be ascertained. Dr. Cary accepts that there is evidence of coronary atherosclerosis but states that in his opinion its nature and extent is unlikely to have contributed to the cause of death.
As The Lede reported in an earlier post, video clips of Mr. Tomlinson apparently being struck and forced to the ground by a police officer, photographed from different angles by an amateur videographer and a news cameraman, were posted on the Web within days after the incident. The first of these videos, contradicting an initial statement from the police that officers had had no contact with Mr. Tomlinson before he collapsed and died, was obtained by The Guardian from a New York fund manager visiting London who videotaped the incident.
In a second article, The Guardian reports that Mr. Tomlinson’s son, Paul King, made this statement:
First we were told that there had been no contact with the police; then we were told that he died of a heart attack; now we know that he was violently assaulted by a police officer and died from internal bleeding. As time goes on, we hope that the full truth about how Ian died will be made known.

There needs to be a law against police testifying in court cases. Obviously they have no respect for the truth.

Once again the Goverment circle caught covering up. They should not be immune to being dragged to the gallows .

He wasn't a protester

He was just walking home from work and got attacked

About the only way he could have suffered this type of injury is if someone knocked him down on his back AND STOMPED AS HARD AS THEY COULD on his stomach.
