A police community support officer has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by neglect after the death of his girlfriend.
Chris Nash, 30, a serving PCSO with Greater Manchester Police, was arrested as part of an ongoing investigation into the death of 28-year-old Rebecca Wilson. She died from a morphine overdose at the home the couple shared on Green Lane, Heaton Norris, Stockport, in May last year. She had taken a substantial amount of morphine and had left a note.
Mr Nash is not suspected of giving any drugs to Ms Wilson.
It is believed she was discovered in the early hours of the morning on Saturday May 15, but the emergency services were allegedly not contacted until several hours later.
Ms Wilson was taken to Stepping Hill Hospital where she was pronounced dead. She had been prescribed morphine after undergoing an operation on her back.
The M.E.N. understands Mr Nash, based in Reddish as part of the Stockport north policing team, was on leave until July 2010 following Ms Wilson’s death.
He was back on duty for at least seven months before being suspended, shortly after his arrest.
The PCSO, who was off duty when Ms Wilson died, has now been bailed until April and remains suspended pending the outcome of the investigation.
Mr Nash is understood to now be living with his parents. Last night he was unavailable for comment.
A spokesman for GMP said: "A serving PCSO has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by neglect following the death of a 28-year-old woman.
"The 30-year-old man was arrested as part of an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death at her home on Green Lane, Stockport, in May 2010.
"The PCSO, who was off duty at the time of the incident, has been bailed until April 2011 and suspended from duty pending the outcome of the investigation.
"A post-mortem examination revealed the woman died as a result of a morphine overdose."
