Third post-mortem on G20 man's body

Ian Tomlinson died after apparently being struck by a police officer.
Lawyers for the police officer made the request after conflicting results emerged from two earlier examinations.
The first post-mortem, carried out by Dr Freddy Patel, found Mr Tomlinson died from a heart attack after collapsing during the protests in the City of London on April 1.
But a second, carried out at the request of Mr Tomlinson's family and the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), rejected that.
The second pathologist, Dr Nat Carey, found Mr Tomlinson instead died from internal bleeding.
His conclusions prompted IPCC investigators to question the officer, who has not been identified, on suspicion of manslaughter.
The officer a member of the Territorial Support Group, was shown in footage filmed by a bystander clubbing Mr Tomlinson across the legs with his baton before pushing him to the ground.
New footage of the moments leading up to the death of Mr Tomlinson is due to shown after the IPCC failed in its attempt to block it being broadcast by Channel 4 News.
It tried to secure a court order when it emerged the programme planned to broadcast a frame-by-frame analysis of the film, but a judge refused to grant the injunction. An IPCC spokeswoman said it believed the footage "would potentially damage" its investigation.
