Andre Moura: Dad died after taking cocaine and having 'high-stressing, physical struggle with police', inquest jury concludes

A dad-of-four died having suffered a cardiac arrest in the back of a police van after taking cocaine and being involved in a 'significant' and 'high-stressing, physical struggle' with officers, an inquest jury has concluded.

Andre Moura, 30, was detained by cops outside his home on Seventh Avenue in the Limeside area of Oldham on suspicion of a breach of the peace following a number of emergency calls from his long-term partner and mother of his children about his behaviour on Friday, July 6, 2018.

The actions of the officers involved did not cause or contribute to Mr Moura's death, an inquest into his death heard. The injuries he sustained in the struggle did not contribute to his death, a pathologist said.
