The inquest into the death of David Dungay has been shown harrowing video footage of his final moments in which he yells ‘I can’t breathe’.

David Dungay Jr, a 26-year-old Dunghutti man, died in 2015 after he refused to stop eating biscuits in his cell and guards rushed in and restrained him face down on his bed.

The officers then transfer him to another cell where he was restrained again and injected with a sedative. Moments later he stopped breathing.
