Neither the IPCC nor City of London police made any mention of the injuries or abdominal blood found by the pathologist Freddy Patel when they released results of the first postmortem. City of London police said only that Tomlinson had “suffered a sudden heart attack while on his way home from work.”
Tomlinson’s son, Paul King, said: “We believe we were badly misled by police about the possible role they played in Ian’s death. 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.”
