Thunder Bay police death inquest views cellblock footage of man asking for help
The joint inquest in Thunder Bay is looking at the deaths of Mamakwa and his 50-year-old uncle Roland McKay, who died in 2017. Both Indigenous men died of medical conditions while in Thunder Bay police custody without being assessed by doctors, after they were arrested on suspicion of public intoxication.An earlier clip showed a constable dropping off the juice box while Mamakwa was lying on the bed.
Many of clips showed Mamakwa lying down. In others, he was sitting up and rocking back and forth, appearing to breathe heavily, clutching his chest and struggling to stand shortly before he died early on Aug. 3, 2014. Another clip showed a constable checking on him after he had already died, then bringing other people in uniform into the cell.Counsel said on Tuesday, the first day of hearings, that both had chances of survival if they had been taken to hospital. The jury was told evidence is expected saying Mamakwa had a 97 per cent chance of surviving if he had been taken to a hospital.
The inquest is also looking at how racism and bias may have affected first responders’ interactions with the two men. A medical expert began testifying on Wednesday about Indigenous people’s experiences with racism and interactions with the health system.
