BURNABY, B.C.
— A Vancouver police constable told a coroner's inquest that"time was standing still" as he waited for advanced life support paramedics to arrive and help revive 33-year-old Myles Gray after he was beaten by officers trying to arrest him.
Gray had been in Vancouver making a delivery to a florists' supply shop for the business he operated on the Sunshine Coast, and the inquest has heard the initial 911 call was about an agitated man who sprayed a woman with a garden hose. Gray's symptoms suggested the officers weren't dealing with someone who simply didn't want to be arrested, said Cain, who had previously worked as a paramedic.
With Gray in handcuffs, Cain said he called for advanced life support paramedics, who are specially trained and carry equipment required to administer sedatives. Cain said he and another officer moved Gray out from under low-hanging tree branches to make room for him to receive medical attention, but he stopped breathing again a few moments later.
