An Asian pathologist who claimed Ian Tomlinson died of natural causes during the G20 protest has been suspended amid claims of misconduct.
Freddy Patel, registered with the GMC as Mohmed Saeed Sulema Patel, is awaiting the outcome of two investigations and is now barred from undertaking any postmortems.
However, questions are being raised as to why a man who has concerned others in the past was chosen to conduct that of Ian Tomlinson.
The Metropolitan Police alerted the Home Office to Mr Patel in 2004 and failed to spot Sally White's murder by a disturbed alcoholic in 2002.
Investigating Ian Tomlinson's death, Mr Patel concluded despite injuries on the body he had died of a heart attack, but a second postmortem ruled he died from internal bleeding. Dr Patel has refused to comment.
