Inquest resumes into man's death in custody

An inquest into the death of a man who died under police guard will reopen today.

Steven Jonathan Corkill died at Noble's Hospital on June 16 last year, days after he'd been arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking.

The 27 year old was from Douglas, and the hearing into his death opened last June.

Coroner of inquests John Needham will reconvene the case at 10am - because Mr Corkill died in custody, the inquest will be held before a jury.

Three weeks has been set aside to hear the evidence.
