Three emergency workers have been fired over their response to Tyre Nichols after he was beaten by police.
The Memphis Fire Department said it had fired two emergency medical technicians and an emergency vehicle driver after an investigation found they failed to provide adequate medical care.
Mr Nichols, 29, arrived at a hospital in critical condition after several officers punched and kicked him and hit him with a
baton in Memphis, Tennessee.
He died three days later from his injuries.
The fire department said in a statement that Robert Long and JaMicheal Sandridge failed to conduct an “adequate patient assessment” of Mr Nichols, adding that the pair alongside Lieutenant Michelle Whitaker, who drove a fire engine that went to the scene, were dismissed for violating department policy.
