Taite Collins says he will always wonder if he could have done something more to stop what unfolded just metres below his home in one of Sydney’s largest public housing estates. He had just gotten out of the shower on Tuesday night when he heard yelling. He stepped on to his balcony and shot a video of his partner, Collin Burling, begging for help while he was restrained by police.
“I can’t breath,” Burling can be heard saying in the video before he appears motionless. He went into cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead in hospital.
