BURNABY, B.C. — The jury at a British Columbia coroner's inquest began deliberating Monday at the end of 11days of testimony about the death of Myles Gray after a beating by Vancouver police officers nearly eight years ago.
The five-member jury made just three recommendations in its verdict on Monday, but the suggestion for body cameras equipped with audio-recording capabilities was at the top of their list.
Several officers told the inquest they believed Gray had been experiencing"excited delirium," characterizing it as a life-threatening medical emergency. Gray's extreme physical exertion while police struggled to restrain him was also among the"perfect storm" of factors that led to his death, Orde said.
She said Gray had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder around 1999, but he'd been stable ever since. He operated a business on the Sunshine Coast.The jury's second recommendation for Vancouver police is to review and enhance the crisis de-escalation and containment training officers receive.
