Pontins death: decision to restrain man unlawful – inquest

Jury finds Pontins staff in Suffolk failed to follow policy while restraining Paul Reynolds

A father-of-three who died at a Pontins holiday park would have lived had he not been restrained by the neck and placed in a prone position by security staff there, an inquest jury has found.

Paul Reynolds, 38, from Colchester, died in hospital two days after the incident at Pontins Pakefield in Lowestoft, Suffolk, on 14 February 2017, in which he became involved in an altercation with another guest.
