An inquest has heard the death of a missing student found in a pond in Epping Forest was ‘consistent with drowning’.
The teenager, who had sickle cell anaemia, left his home on the evening of March 22 without his medication.-phoned police the next day but Mr Okorogheye was not officially recorded as missing until two days later.
The IOPC investigation found that Mr Okorogheye should have been classed as a missing person earlier and he was seen as low risk for too long. It also noted that a call handler inaccurately recorded his medical condition as anaemia rather than sickle cell anaemia on the initial police report. Dr Swift said the teenager’s family had informed him that he was unable to swim and did not like water.
