A man who was in police custody in Norrköping was found dead just before 6am this morning. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital, but his life could not be saved, police say on their website.
When the man was found in custody, police officers began trying to resuscitate him and an ambulance was immediately called. The man was taken to hospital, but his life could not be saved and doctors pronounced him dead.
Police do not want to say why the man was detained.
– It is very sensitive when people are killed in our arrests and then must be investigated by prosecutors, so we have come to the conclusion that we should not reveal any more information. Out of respect for the deceased, relatives and with a view to the investigation, we hand over to the press service of the Special Prosecutor’s Office, says Thomas Agnevik, press spokesman for the Eastern Police Region.
TT: Did you supervise the man during the night?
– This is something that the prosecutor will investigate and that I cannot elaborate, says Thomas Agnevik.
This morning, prosecutors from the special prosecutor’s office launched a preliminary misconduct investigation. The current arrest has been blocked following a decision by the same prosecutor and forensic technicians have conducted a forensic investigation during the morning.
The man’s relatives have been notified.
