Prison officers took about 10 minutes to respond to a call for help from an Indigenous man who later died from an asthma attack, a Sydney inquest has heard.

Nathan Reynolds, 36, called for assistance at 11.27pm after struggling to breathe at a South Windsor prison's minimum-security wing on 31 August 2018. Guards arrived 12 minutes later after walking there.
