| The father-of-five had been restrained by G4S security guards, an inquest jury at Isleworth Crown Court heard. | |
| He was being deported from the UK after serving a two-year prison sentence for assault occasioning actual bodily harm. | |
| 'Unreasonable force' | |
| Mr Mubenga was restrained by Terence Hughes, Stuart Tribelnig and Colin Kaler, the inquest heard. | |
| The jury found he died of cardio-respiratory collapse, in which the heart stops beating and a person stops breathing. | |
| Other passengers said they heard Mr Mubenga wailing for help after saying he could not breathe, with one of the guards apparently replying: "Yes, you can." | |
| Returning the verdict, the jury foreman said: "Based on the evidence we have heard, we have found Mr Mubenga was pushed or held down by one or more of the guards. | |
| "We find that this was unreasonable force. | |
| "The guards would have known that they would have caused harm to Mr Mubenga, if not serious harm." |
