The death of a Polish man who suffered hypothermia after being moved on by police at Luton Airport is being investigated by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
While police officers were removing him from the airport on the afternoon of Tuesday, January 16, Marek Pasich, 44, fell over outside the terminal building.
An ambulance was called, but Mr Pasich refused to get into it and remained on a seat outside the terminal until just before 5am the following day, when paramedics were called for him once again.
He was taken to Luton & Dunstable Hospital, but died of hypothermia, a post mortem revealed.
IPCC commissioner David Petch urged witnesses to the events to get in touch.
He said: "Our investigation will seek to establish whether the police officers concerned properly exercised their duty of care towards him."
