Activate your Online Access Now Article content The inquest is mandatory because Abdi died in police custody. It was delayed in part by Montsion’s criminal proceeding. He was charged with manslaughter, but was found not guilty after a judge-alone trial. Weir was the first cop to interact with Abdi, arriving at a Bridgehead coffee shop in Westboro after multiple 911 calls reporting that Abdi was groping women. Weir attempted to arrest Abdi, but Abdi fled back to his apartment, where Weir caught up with him and Montsion joined. There, Montsion said he punched Abdi approximately eight times over the course of a few minutes while trying to arrest him, and broke the man’s nose with his first punch. He was wearing Oakley SI Assault Combat Gloves with hard plastic coverings over the knuckles. Many officers wore them in the force to avoid injury or germs, he said, but he testified he didn’t receive any training or information about the gloves, and they are no longer in use among the Ottawa Police Service. This week marked the first time Montsion has spoken publicly about Abdi’s death since he did not testify at his criminal trial. Unlike Weir, Montsion remains a sworn member of the Ottawa Police Service. Evening Update The Ottawa Citizen’s best journalism, delivered directly to your inbox by 7 p.m. on weekdays.

Article content Video showed Montsion punching Abdi in the head repeatedly during the course of the arrest. Once Abdi was in handcuffs, he lost consciousness, and Montsion said he checked to make sure he was breathing and rolled him on his side into the recovery position. “He was in my custody. It’s my duty to care for him,” Montsion said. But, when paramedics arrived a few moments later, Abdi had no vital signs present, the inquest heard. “How did you not notice he was not breathing?” inquest lawyer Maria Stevens asked. “ I periodically moved my attention back to him, to keep tabs on his medical condition,” Montsion replied. “Any time I actively paid attention to him, he was still breathing.” Abdirahman Abdi, 38, died on June 25, 2016, one day after his arrest by Ottawa police. Photo by Abdi Family Photo / THE CANADIAN PRESS Montsion said he was “very surprised” when paramedics said Abdi had no vital signs, as he had checked his breathing about 60 or 90 seconds prior to the paramedics’ arrival. “ So it’s a coincidence Abdi stopped breathing just before the paramedics arrived?” Steven asked. “I suppose that’s accurate, yes,” Montsion responded. He said the scene became “chaotic,” with bystanders yelling and taking videos of the officers and the unconscious man.

Article content Rick Frank, a lawyer for the Black Action Defence Committee, asked if more could have been done to take stock of Abdi’s vital signs, but Montsion said he checked him regularly. Bystanders had said they were yelling to the officers that Abdi had mental-health issues, but both Weir and Montsion said they didn’t hear them. The inquest has a broad scope, with Weir and Montsion fielding questions about their training in the areas of mental-health de-escalation, use of force, and anti-bias training. The inquest jury is tasked with determining Abdi’s cause of death and can also make recommendations to prevent deaths in similar situations. The inquest is to continue next week, with dozens more witnesses still expected to testify.

DEAN McCullough and Ant McPartlin came face-to-face on I'm A Celebrity tonight after fans said they spotted a feud between them. Radio 1 DJ Dean has done several dreaded Bushtucker Trials - therefore spending a lot of time with Ant and Dec . In tonight's (November 22) episode, Dean and McFly star Danny Jones took on the latest trial, High Street Of Horrors. Shortly after their arrival, Ant acknowledged past tension between the two. He told the celebrity campmate: "Dean, I'm not angry anymore, I'm just disappointed." The trial itself comprised three shops, each containing a number of stars to win for camp. Read more on I'm A Celeb Overall, the objective was to locate all of them within the allotted time for their shopping spree. The first stop, Grim Grocers had three stars on offer with three minutes to find them. Danny, in his eagerness, tripped over when the klaxon sounded. In their effort, the duo won a total of eight stars for camp altogether.

Ant previously addressed the "feud" with Dean during Thursday's episode of ITV2 spin-off show Unpacked.

Dec sarcastically responded "I think you hid it quite well, Ant...I think you hid it quite well." Ant went on: "You get to the point when you think 'what are you doing?'"
