BBC reports that Ian Tomlinson's second post-mortem has concluded that he died of internal haemmorrhaging, NOT, as the initial reports claimed, a heart attack or pre-existing coronary conditions.

Who conducted the first post-mortem? Who holds the relevant notes and records? Ian's family should be able to get these through FOIA.
Looks like there's a doctor who is either;
(a) professionally incompetent enough to have made a serious error,
or
(b) corruptly produced results known to be false to support the initial police lies.
The speed with which the first post-mortem was carried out was very unusual.

Fraid The Guardian are way ahead of you on that one - they did some digging at least a week or so ago and ran a piece about how the original coroner, Dr Freddy Patel, had been reprimanded by the GMC before. He had released medical details of a 30-year-old man, Roger Sylvester, who died in police custody. He also claimed a murder victim died of natural causes, a slip that allowed her killer to go on and murder two other women and mutilate their bodies.

It was also noteworthy that the blow required to cause a normal healthy person to have trauma based hemo is about that sustained in a major road accident or a fall from a substancial hight.
In the end everyone dies of heart attack...everyone.
as for the last poster, to surgest that a coroner (highest court in the land) is complicit in the death or of any deliberate altering of facts is plain fantasy bassed on a personal attitude not fact, something fairly common these days.
just the facts ma'am, just the facts.

Did I say it was deliberate? No - I described it as a "slip".
How dare you describe my comments as "plain fantasy" rather than facts. Go get the GMC judgement.
And if you can't be bothered to do that, just read this:
"Dr Freddy Patel
Patel, who conducted the first postmortem and concluded that Ian Tomlinson had died of a heart attack, was once reprimanded about his professional conduct by the General Medical Council after he released medical details about Roger Sylvester, a 30-year-old black man who died in police custody.
He told reporters: "I am aware from the medical records ... that Mr Sylvester was a user of crack cocaine." Sylvester's family were devastated by the suggestion and contested that he been a user.
In a second case, which raised questions about Dr Patel's findings, police dropped a criminal investigation after the pathologist gave it as his opinion that the victim, Sally White, had died of natural causes. Anthony Hardy, a psychiatrically-disturbed alcoholic, who lived in the flat where the body was found, went on to murder two other women and mutilate their bodies."
