Mr King had been detained at Cawston Park under the Mental Health Act in 2018.
Following an inquest into his death, a report by coroner Jacqueline Lake said Mr King had been given a sedative on 28 July after showing signs of agitation.

The report said CCTV viewed at the inquest showed Mr King had been assaulted in the hours prior to his death.
The hospital, which had been placed in special measures by Care Quality Commission inspectors in 2019, was closed earlier this year because provider Jeesal had been "unable to demonstrate improvements".

Chemical restraints are now illegal here in USA, because patients are overdosed and many died.
