Neither Justice Health NSW nor Corrective Services NSW admitted liability in settling the case.
A lawsuit brought against NSW prisons for alleged shortcomings that led to an Aboriginal inmate's asthma attack death has been settled for a confidential sum and will not go to trial. Anaiwan and Dunghutti man Nathan Reynolds died in 2018 at the minimum-security Geoffrey Pearce prison in northwest Sydney. The 36-year-old suffered an acute asthma attack for which he received an inadequate level of medical care, according to the findings of a 2020 inquest.
In the hours leading up to his death in September 2018, Mr Reynolds spoke to Ms Pochodyla over the phone and told her he felt "horrible". She asked him if he had seen a doctor, to which he replied, "you don't see doctors around here, nobody gives a s*** about you," according to the coronial findings. Mr Reynolds initiated an emergency alarm from his cell about 11.
