Police are visiting residents and businesses in Leeds to try and trace the last movements of a man who died after becoming ill while in custody.
Jason Jones, 39, died in Leeds General Infirmary on 5 February. He had been remanded at HMP Leeds after being arrested in Beeston on 2 February.
A post-mortem showed he suffered a brain injury and police believe he was attacked before he was detained.
Had he been attacked prior to being taken into custody, I would expect the custody records to show that his injuries were logged and he was examined by the police doctor. I suspect this did not happen. And, the police are seeking to lay the blame for cause of death elsewhere. Interesting, to say the least.

Perhaps he fell "awkwardly" whilst negotiating the corridors in the police station? Or one of his escorting officers could have slipped on a carelessly discarded banana skin, causing his feet to fly into the air and strike the poor man in the head.
