Dr Patel had already been suspended from a Home Office register A pathologist at the centre of a row over the death of a man during the G20 protests has been suspended from the medical register for three months.
Freddy Patel had been found guilty of misconduct by the General Medical Council over three earlier post-mortem examinations.
He had carried out an examination on the body of Ian Tomlinson who died during G20 protests in April last year.
Dr Patel was already been suspended from a Home Office register.
Handing down the suspension on Friday, the GMC’s disciplinary panel said: “You have offered no expression of regret in relation to those instances where the panel found shortcomings of misconduct and/or deficient professional performance.”
But panel chairman Richard Davies said there could be a “genuine public interest” in Dr Patel returning to practice and “giving dependable and worthwhile service for the future”.
Dr Patel had already been suspended from the Home Office register of forensic pathologists after questions were asked about the autopsy carried out on Mr Tomlinson’s body.
The suspension means he will be allowed to work only on non-suspicious deaths, and be barred from working as an expert witness for the defence in suspicious death cases.
