The pathologist who wrongly diagnosed the cause of death of Ian Tomlinson, who died in the G20 protests in 2009, has been struck off the Medical Register.
Dr Freddy Patel, was found guilty of misconduct by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS), sitting in Manchester.
Dr Patel, who was not in attendance for the tribunal's result
Dr Patel, who qualified at the University of Zambia in 1974 and has practised as a pathologist for 35 years, was excused attendance to look after his sick wife but listened in on the hearing by conference call from London.
The medic's actions were found to be misleading, dishonest and liable to bring his profession into disrepute over parts of his handling of the post-mortem examination of Ian Tomlinson.
Patel had previously been found to have "brought the profession into disrepute" and that his integrity could not be relied upon.
Patel had initially declared Tomlinson to have died of a heart attack, before it became clear he was pushed to the floor by Pc Simon Harwood
He also breached one of the "fundamental tenets of the profession" through his dishonesty, the panel said.
Mr Tomlinson, 47, died when he became caught up in the 2009 G20 riots in the City of London as he tried to get home and was forcibly pushed over by Pc Simon Harwood.
Patel carried out the post-mortem on Mr Tomlinson and concluded that he died from a heart attack, but questions were raised when an American tourist came forward with a video recording of him being hit.
