Show Notes
Steven Nixon-McKellar, a 27-year-old Indigenous man, died in police custody in Toowoomba in 2021. The coroner ruled his death multi-factorial, involving exertion, drug intoxication, and health conditions. Despite a lateral vascular neck restraint being used, it was not the direct cause. Nixon-McKellars mother argues police escalated without proper assessment, while a petition seeks release of body-worn camera footage from the arrest. Queensland Police acknowledge the findings as a learning opportunity, with ongoing calls for accountability.
