A man who broke into a care home in Cornwall died of heart failure minutes after being restrained by police, an inquest has found.
Godrick Osei, 35, broke into Tregolls Manor in Truro in July 2022 and blockaded himself in a bathroom before five police officers forced their way in.
An inquest jury heard Mr Osei had earlier drunk alcohol and taken cocaine and cannabis, which left him feeling "ultra paranoid and believing people were after him".
The jury returned a narrative conclusion on Friday that "Godrick's death was caused by heart failure related to acute behavioural disturbance (ABD) and associated drug and alcohol misuse and mental health difficulties (PTSD)".
Symptoms 'not recognised'
The jury concluded his ABD "was exacerbated by the use of illicit substances and alcohol and psychological distress he experienced with his interactions with the police".
ABD symptoms can include extreme agitation, paranoia, rapid breathing and sweating.
The inquest heard how police did not recognise the symptoms in Mr Osei, which could exacerbated by restraint.
"Terrified" staff called police after Mr Osei burst into the care home, where 18 elderly residents were sleeping, at about 02:00 BST on 3 July.
He was handcuffed to the front of his body for two minutes, during which time he suffered a medical episode, the inquest heard.
The handcuffs were removed and police gave Mr Osei CPR and mouth-to-mouth before paramedics arrived and took over, but he did not survive.
