Dad died after being injected with powerful painkiller during arrest in Magaluf

A dad who was allegedly knelt on by police and beaten up by bouncers in Spain died after being injected with super-strength painkiller fentanyl, his family said. Tobias White-Sansom, 35, slipped into a coma and died in hospital five days after the incident on the Magaluf strip in Majorca.

His family has since discovered that, shortly before going into cardiac arrest, Tobias was injected with fentanyl by medics. A medical report seen by the Mirror shows that two doses were given intravenously - once while he lay on the ground outside the nightclub and a second time inside an ambulance.

Fentanyl is a strong opioid painkiller up to 100 times more potent than morphine.
