A prisoner died after being found unresponsive in his Strangeways cell by an inmate, an inquest hears.
Paul Johnstone, 37, was lying motionless on the top bunkbed when the alarm was raised. His cellmate Derek Hulme called for help after he didn't respond when nudged.
Manchester Coroners' Court heard yesterday (Wednesday) how Mr Johnstone, who had a long history of drug misuse, was found unconscious at 1.40pm on January 2, 2019. Giving evidence, prison officer Paul Thompson described how he answered the alarm and was asked by Mr Hulme: "Can you check on him?"
