>Dungay, who had diabetes and schizophrenia, was in Long Bay jail hospital at the time of his death, aged 26, in November 2015. Guards stormed his cell after he refused to stop eating a packet of biscuits.
Dungay was dragged to another cell by guards, held face down and injected with a sedative by a Justice Health nurse. In harrowing footage shown to the court and partly released to the public, Dungay said 12 times that he couldn’t breathe, before losing consciousness and dying.
But Lee did not find that any of the five guards who restrained Dungay should face disciplinary action, saying the immediate action team’s “conduct was limited by systemic efficiencies in training” and was “not motivated by malicious intent” but “was a product of misunderstanding”.
Ah yes, that classic misunderstanding of "I can't breathe" by people professionally trained to handle these circumstances.
