There were failures in the lead up to the death of a Nottingham prisoner who suffered a heart attack in the toilets of the gym, an inquest has ruled. Masih Ullah was a serving prisoner detained at HMP Lowdham Grange when he suffered a myocardial infarction at 9.57am on August 5, 2019, following exercise.
Despite "prompt medical intervention", he was declared dead at 11.15am on the same day. Mr Ullah had a known heart condition which he declared on his gym induction process sheet. He had been transferred to HMP Lowdham Grange from HMP Full Sutton in Yorkshire, arriving 12 days before his medical emergency.
A jury found that there was a failure to properly arrange Masih Ullah's transfer to hospital for Cardiology and that there was also a failure to follow up and re-arrange the missed Cardiology review on April 11, 2019.
