Ian Tomlinson: Second Post-Mortem Results
Ian Tomlinson - the innocent bystander who died shortly after being assaulted by police at the G20 summit protests - died of an abdominal haemorrhage.
That's according to the results of a second post-mortem examination.
Mr Tomlinson was making his way home from work on the day of the protests when he got caught up in the police cordon. After an apparently one-sided altercation a police officer struck Mr Tomlinson with his baton and pushed him to the ground.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPPC), which ordered a second examination of Mr Tomlinson's body, is investigating the circumstances surrounding his death.
This afternoon's results signify further bad news for the Metropolitan Police, with the real possibility that Mr Tomlinson's death resulted from the trauma of his assault moments earlier.
