The news story over the GMC review of pathologist Freddy Patel focused on the issues surrounding his post mortem report on the death of Ian Tomlinson. The General Medical Council have decided to suspend Dr. Patel for three months and to bar him from cases involving suspicious deaths.
The investigation found errors made in three serious cases, where the post mortems stated natural deaths while later reports found the death were suspicious.
"Dr Patel has been a forensic pathologist for over thirty years but his competence was challenged when the Metropolitan Police complained after he decided that the first victim of a serial murderer who became known as the Camden Ripper had died from natural causes. "-Channel 4
