Michael Rhodes collapsed in a cell at Middlesbrough police station on February 25 after being taken into custody on suspicion of drug offences.The 38-year-old was taken from the cell to James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.He was later transferred to the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle where he died on Sunday, March 9.
A post mortem examination proved to be inconclusive.Gary Garland, the IPCC's regional commissioner, said: "We will ensure all aspects of Mr Rhodes's time in custody are checked to ensure those close to him have a full picture of what happened. "The IPCC is required to conduct an independent investigation in these circumstances, and our involvement should not be taken as an immediate indication that the police have done something wrong."
