Man dies at Manchester airport after arrest by Border Force officers
Police watchdog is investigating death of 27-year-old who showed ‘unusual behaviour’ at security check
A 27-year-old man has died at Manchester airport after being arrested by Border Force officers.
The man had been stopped while going through security in Terminal 2 on Wednesday after “displaying unusual behaviour”, the police watchdog said. It is understood he was later detained in connection with alleged drug offences, according to the Manchester Evening News. He subsequently became unwell and was pronounced dead at 1.53pm. An investigation has begun into his death, with the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) carrying out independent inquiries into the incident. The man’s family were being supported by specialist officers and updated on the progress of the investigation.

My 1st guess when I saw this the other day was he might have been a drug mule who had something burst inside him.
