A coroner has condemned the “unacceptable” care of a vulnerable, epileptic Black man who died in prison after staff failed to take his risk of seizure seriously, The Independent can reveal.
Trevor Monerville, 33, was found unresponsive after having an epileptic seizure in his cell at HMP Lewes in East Sussex in April 2021. On that morning, prison staff did not carry out a morning roll check as they were supposed to.
A damning inquest found there was “insufficient and unacceptable” management of Mr Monerville’s care, by both HMP Lewes and the privately-owned prison healthcare provider, Practice Plus Group (PPG).
