NSW Corrective Services has apologised to the family of an Indigenous man who died in custody, admitting there were 'organisational failures'.
Harrowing footage played during a three-week-long coronial inquest showed Mr Dungay call out “I can’t breathe” a dozen times before going into cardiac arrest and dying.
Mr Cocoran conceded on Friday that it “did not train the officers in the Immediate Action Team at Long Bay in the risk factors for positional asphyxia.” Also, “Corrective Services did not train our correctional officers to exhaust all the escalation techniques prior to entering cell 71.” In an emotional testimony, Mr Dungay’s mother Leetona, supported by her children, read a statement in front of lawyers, the media and the public.
