An inquest jury finds there was an 'unreasonable delay' in giving Alexander Braund vital treatment
An inmate who died after being taken ill in his cell was neglected by nursing and prison staff, an inquest has found.
He first became unwell on 6 March, which was not reported to prison staff, but the following day he told a nurse he was "coughing all night, producing brown phlegm, generally feeling unwell and had a bad chest". Braund's pulse and oxygen levels were checked, but the nurse did not carry out blood pressure, respiration or temperature checks, and his chest was not examined and no specific diagnosis was made.
A prison officer arrived but did not enter the cell. Then a colleague arrived and at 07:01 an ambulance was called.The medical cause of death was given as hypoxic ischaemic brain injury, cardiac arrest "with long down time" and atypical pneumonitis.
