A Noongar man who died in police custody was handcuffed as he lost consciousness, came to and then collapsed again before a cancelled ambulance was called a second time.<\/p>\n

A directions hearing into the death of Jeffrey Winmar, a 28-year-old Aboriginal man who died after being arrested in Melbourne\u2019s west last month, began on Tuesday before Coroner Sarah Gebert.<\/p>\n

Winmar was wanted on burglary offences and was believed to be at a property in Werribee, where police, including a dog handler, were sent on November 9.<\/p>\n

He was seen leaving the house after police knocked at the front door and climbed over several fences before being found in a clump of trees to the rear of a nearby property.<\/p>\n

Counsel assisting the coroner Lindsay Spence said body-worn camera footage from the dog handler showed Winmar saying \u201cplease don\u2019t let the dog bite me, please don\u2019t let him bite me\u201d before kneeling on the ground, collapsing and losing consciousness.<\/p>\n

The court heard police handcuffed Winmar and placed him in the recovery position before calling an ambulance.<\/p>\n

The request was cancelled when he regained consciousness.<\/p>\n

A short time later, Winmar again lost consciousness and stopped breathing, as police requested another ambulance and did CPR until paramedics arrived.<\/p>\n

He was admitted to Box Hill Hospital\u2019s intensive care unit and died two days later, on November 11.<\/p>\n

Spence said the cause of his death was a suspected cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n

He said Winmar had a laceration to his liver that \u201cnothing apparent on the footage\u201d explained, given the only use of police force was when he was handcuffed.<\/p>\n

Sarah Schwartz, a principal lawyer at the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service, said there were significant concerns that only one body-worn camera was in use despite several police officers taking part in the planned arrest.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want the police to account for what happened under their watch,\u201d Winmar\u2019s mother, Ursulla Winmar, said in a statement that noted \u201cinconsistent information\u201d given to the family about his pursuit and arrest.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been robbed of a son, he had so much left to give to us, and we still need him,\u201d she said, describing Winmar\u2019s dedication to his family and son.<\/p>\n

Winmar is one of more than 550 Aboriginal people who have died in custody since the 1991 royal commission.<\/p>\n

The matter will return to court in June for another directions hearing.<\/p>\n
