Windrush victim's family walk out of inquest into his death
Relatives angry that coroner declined to consider the role of May's 'hostile environment' in causing Dexter Bristol's death
RELATIVES of a member of the Windrush generation who died trying to prove he had a right to live in Britain walked out of his inquest yesterday after a coroner refused to involve the Home Office in the hearing.
Dexter Bristol, 58, collapsed and died outside his home in Camden, north London, on March 29 during a long battle to prove he was in the country legally despite having lived in Britain for nearly 50 years.
He had not visited a GP for more than a year before his death, believing he could not change surgeries unless he could prove his immigration status, a pre-inquest review hearing previously heard.
