How Did Carl Woods Die?
That's the question his family and members of Perth's Nyoongar community have been asking for over a year now.

The 35-year-old's ife ended on the night he broke into a Perth home, high on amphetamines and acting aggressively. The homeowner called police and once they arrived, it took four officers to restrain him. A short time later, Carl was dead.

His parents were told he died of a heart attack but they question that explanation. This week his mother, Barona Winmar, tells Living Black video journalist Angela Bates: "When I walked in and saw him they said he died of a heart attack and I saw, straight away, all the marks on his face and on his head."

The Nyoongar community and Carl's parents are calling for a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death. They hope a coronial inquest, to be held later this year, will provide further information but until then, all they can do is wait.

Western Australia's Police Commissioner Karl O'Callaghan tells Living Black that a violent struggle between police and Carl Woods did occur, because he was resisting arrest.

However, in responding to calls that he should stand his officers down pending the coronial inquest, Commissioner O'Callaghan says: "In this circumstance there is no evidence of any serious misconduct by the police officers."
