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.
