From Staff and Wire Reports
Police and ambulance attendants who dealt with hockey player John Kordic on the night he died used force freely and neglected to give him minimal medical attention, a coroner’s inquest was told in Quebec.
The owner of the motel where the hockey player was staying last August, testified at the inquest into Kordic’s death that a police officer knelt on Kordic’s neck as colleagues slapped on handcuffs.
A pathologist has attributed Kordic’s death to a heart attack and fluid in the lungs brought on by a cocaine binge.
