A 35-year-old man who police say was arrested after breaching his court-imposed bail conditions for 'serious charges' has died while in custody.
Authorities are investigating the death of a man in custody, after he was arrested by police in the eastern Perth suburb of Midland.In a statement sent to media, police said the man had been assessed by a nurse at the Perth Watch House, but was taken to Royal Perth Hospital after his behaviour changed last night.
While making no suggestion of police wrongdoing in this instance, he said police should not be forced to make health assessments, and more health professionals were needed in the watch house. "Police should not be in the predicament of making health and welfare judgements," Mr Georgatos said.
