Today i'm sharing a story of a young man called Ryan Salmon, he was 28 and originally from Liverpool but then moved to Chester with his partner Leah. Ryan had suffered with his mental health for some time .The family had tried so much to help him and the police was fully aware of his situation. He got detained on the Saturday night and took to the hospital by the police and the hospital said he had no capacity to leave due to his mental state , he left the hospital and got detained again Sunday night. The police took him to the hospital again and the hospital wanted to do a psychiatric assessment on him but because he was now under arrest ( for breach of the peace ) he had to have that assement in the police station. He got took to the cells and was kept there until his partner got a phone call Tuesday morning saying he was in the hospital in cardiac arrest. Ryan had co***ne on him still. He never got strip searched, even though he had a previous record. He took the co***ne in the cell and had a seizure. No one found him for 12 minutes , he then went into cardiac arrest and was in hospital on life support for 6 days before being declared brain dead. The family have seen cell footage and he suffered so much he was begging for help on the cameras. And he pressed the buzzer before he seizured, the officer came and left the door and reported that Ryan was ( making babbling noises and putting it on ) soon as he shut the flap Ryan fell into the seizure. The I.C.U doctor confirmed that if Ryan had received instant medical help he would more than likely be alive today.
This young man could of been saved but because of Police negligence he lost his life, leaving behind his partner leah and their two daughters without a Dad. This story was not made public. This happened in May 2023. But the family have reached out and said they would like his face to seen and his story heard. We must come together in these hard times and show support to try and get these lads justice from a failure that cost them their lives by a corrupt system.
