Investigation into death of man, 35, allegedly knelt on by police in Magaluf

A UK coroner has ordered an inquest into the death of a British dad whose heart stopped, after he was allegedly knelt on by police and beaten up by bouncers in Magaluf. Tobias White-Sansom, 35, died in hospital on July 31 five days after an incident at a nightclub on the Magaluf Strip in Majorca, reports The Mirror.

Tobias had a private funeral in his home city of Nottingham last weekend. Acting Senior Coroner Andrew Barkley has now decided an inquest into Tobias' death will be necessary. Tobias' brother, Maximillian White, said: "The saddest thing for me is that every time we get a small win I have to accept that my brother is not coming back. That's the worst thing.

"Having to look his children in the face... it's sad. I have to watch my own mum just trying to keep it together, because that's the only option she's got. After Toby's funeral it hit me hard because I realised he wasn't coming back. There were hundreds and hundreds of people who wanted to show their support.
