The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating the death of Nuno Cardoso, a law student from Kentish Town, north London, who died in November. According to evidence given to the IPCC, Cardoso was restrained during arrest and subsequently collapsed. Cardoso is the fifth black man to die after the use of restraints by police in 2017. Guido Liguori, an IPCC associate commissioner, said: “My thoughts are with the family and friends of Mr Cardoso and all those affected by his death. “It is despairing that we end the year with yet another restraint related death of a black man, who died less than a month after the publication of the Angiolini review,” said Coles.
