Terry Cassidy, 45, who worked in television ads and musical videos before suffering injuries that changed his life, died at Queen’s hospital, Romford, on April 9.
He had suffered brain damage to convert an interaction with the Metropolitan Police service.
The force suggested that he died after swallowing drugs when they face officers in a parking lot of Ivyhouse Lane, Dagenham.
But two witnesses told Newsquest that he had wounds in the head and neck when they saw him moments after the confrontation.
“His neck was raw red with scratches,” said a friend, who came to the scene when they should meet to have coffee.
The death of Mr. Cassidy was referred to the Independent Office for Police Behavior (IAPC), but refused to investigate and suggested that I Itelf investigate.
“No one will be charged for this. No one does,” said Cassidy partner, six years old, who asked not to be appointed.
“That is why they continue to do so. Because they continue to go out with their own.”
He described Mr. Cassidy as “a child man” and “a Joker” who never had a leg in trouble, in addition to a single appearance in court for an alleged crime of driving.
“He was always late,” she had. “But apart from that, it was an angel. I would do anything for anyone. I always thought of other people.
“He treated me like a queen. Hello, he taught me to be loved. I never loved it before.
She described her death as “a spontaneous abortion of justice.”
Cassidy, who grew up in Plaistow, “was smart but it was a street,” said his partner.
He could barely walk, after having suffered severe burns on both feet in an accident that ended his career on television, and now repaired people’s computers to make a living.
On the day of his death, he said, he had agreed to have a small amount of drugs for a friend “like an idiot.”
She spoke to her for the last time approximately five minutes before the fatal incident, when she phoned her and said she was followed by four unmarked police cars.
“My leg from Becotee has followed me,” he recalled that he counted it.
He was just driving to his floor, said: “I will be in a minute.”
But after about five minutes, when he arrived, she called him.
A police officer replied and told him that Terry was “quite bad.”
He hastened to the near parking lot and saw him lying on his back without shoes or shirt and a police officer who tried CPR.
“His chest was moving,” he said.
While a friend described “scratches” on Terry’s neck, his partner described what “it seemed small thumb or digital fingerprints. It was very red there, but a Briise was also approaching.”
He also noticed a head injury.
“I just want that when I talked to him, I had gone directly there, or at least I went to landing and looked,” he said. “They are seconds of my floor. I’m upset with myself for that.”
They told him at Queen’s hospital that Terry had gone so long without breathing, he would surely be damaged by the brain if he survived. But he was declared dead nine days later, without having regained consciousness.
The Metropolitan Police said: “Patrol officers in Dagenham arrested a car near Ivyhouse Lane around 4.50 pm on Sunday, March 30, after Conns around drug use.
“When the officers approach, it is believed that the man inside the car put something and then felt bad.
“Officers cool immediate first aid and called the London ambulance service. Man, at age 40, was tasks for the hospital.
“Unfortunately, he died on Wednesday, April 9. His family is aware and supported by specialized officers.”

When asked why he refused to investigate, the IAPC said: “Images of the used police force were reviewed, which did not generate concerns about the interactions of the officers with the man. Therefore, a paper reference was requested.
“After evaluating the information provider in the reference, we decided that an investigation was not required and that the matter should be returned by force to deal with as they considered appropriate.”
With his internal department of professional standards he was reviewing the incident.
