The coroner's concerns
1. alcohol withdrawal risk in custody
“staff in custody suites have to deal with a large number of detained persons who suffer from alcohol dependency. The risks of withdrawal to those who are alcohol dependent are wide ranging from shakes and tremors to death”
2. incorrect record entry causing false assurance
“Anerroneous entry was inserted into Mr [name redacted]' record by an FME. The entry had the effect of providing false assurance to custody staff”
3. language barrier affecting comprehension
“There were some question marks around the full understanding of Mr [name redacted] as English was not his first language”
