An investigation into the death of a man who died days after being detained has exonerated the seven police officers.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) launched an investigation into the circumstances around the death of Vauxhall man Robert Evans in July last year. Mr Evans, 59, was found dead at his home on July 3 after he had been detained by police on Eldon Street five days earlier.
At the time his cause of death was yet to be established and was being treated as unexplained. Merseyside Police referred itself to the IOPC due to the contact officers had with Mr Evans during the stop and search.
