The South Australian deputy coroner has found there were a “litany of failings” that led to the death of the Indigenous man Wayne Fella Morrison in custody but declined to make any findings against the corrections officers involved.
Morrison, a 29-year-old Wiradjuri, Kokatha and Wirangu man, died at Royal Adelaide hospital on 26 September 2016 after being restrained at the wrists and ankles, placed in a spit-hood and positioned face down in the back of a van as he was transported to Yatala labour prison.
