Alex Braund collapsed in his cell and died three days after he reported feeling unwell
A remand prisoner at HMP Nottingham died after his concerns about struggling to breathe were dismissed as a cold, an inquest has heard.
The ventilator keeping him alive was turned off later that day because too much damage had been caused to his brain while it was starved of oxygen.Mr Braund's girlfriend, Charlotte Carter, told the inquest in Nottingham that he "looked different" when she visited him on 3 March, seven days before he died.
"He was wheezing down the phone as well, and struggling to breathe," said Ms Carter, describing the first phone call."I did tell him to speak to a doctor or a nurse and he said that he would." She said Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust was responsible for dealing with minor healthcare matters so that prisoners did not have to leave the prison.
