Callum Kerr, 35, from Warrington, was found unresponsive by Greater Manchester Police officers who boarded the aircraft on its arrival at Manchester Airport in the early hours of Monday. He had been restrained by passengers and aircrew. Officers performed CPR before taking him to hospital, where he died the following day, according to the BBC. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is investigating the actions of the five officers who boarded the plane, after GMP made a mandatory referral due to police contact with Kerr before his death. The IOPC said officers were being treated as witnesses rather than suspects, while a separate GMP investigation is examining the conduct of members of the public involved. Body-worn camera footage and officer statements are among the evidence being reviewed, the BBC reported. His family described him as a devoted father of three and said he had a passion for sport, according to the BBC.
