The information I have is that the circumstances of the death in question were investigated under the supervision of the Police Complaints Authority in Britain. The resulting report was sent to the Crown Prosecution Service which concluded that there was insufficient evidence on which to base a prosecution of the police officer involved. The subsequent inquest concluded with a verdict by the jury of "lawful killing".
