A tragic and deeply unsettling incident has sparked a major investigation: Ricky Swindells, 28, an autistic man in crisis, died after being detained by police in Salford. Officers responded to a welfare concern, handcuffed him for his safety per bodycam footage, and he later became unresponsive — CPR was performed before hospital transport. The IOPC is now probing whether the restraint was necessary and proportionate, while post-mortem results remain inconclusive. Police say they’re cooperating fully, emphasizing they acted on a report of a man in mental distress who posed a self-harm risk. This heartbreaking case leaves a community reeling and demands answers.
