Dibon was hospitalized shortly after Dziekanski’s death. “He’s had a hard time dealing with that” says Kosteckyj. Dibon’s absence along with the inquiry testimony last week of others who knew Dziekanski in Gliwice Poland adds depth to the man Dziekanski’s supporters have angrily accused government and police lawyers of trying to vilify.
