PARIS - French judges have ordered a new medical inquiry to ascertain the cause of death of Adama Traore, who died in custody four years ago and became a symbol of alleged police racism and violence.
Officers eventually found him and pinned him to the ground with the weight of their bodies, and Traore fainted while being brought to a police station where he later died. But last week, lawyers for Traore's family, which has insisted that he died by suffocation, said the witness had retracted his original statement suggesting respiratory distress.
"The judges have ordered a panel of Belgian experts to undertake a forensic examination," the lawyers said in a statement.
