A police officer who was involved in the arrest of Sheku Bayoh said he felt "horrific" after he and other officers realised he was unconscious, an inquiry has heard.
It also emerged the same officer attended a wedding with Mr Bayoh two years before his death in 2015.
However, PC Daniel Gibson said he did not believe he had any contact with Mr Bayoh at the event in 2013.
An inquiry into the circumstances of Mr Bayoh's death, and whether race was a factor, is taking place at Capital House in Edinburgh.
PC Gibson was questioned by the inquiry's senior counsel, Angela Grahame QC, on Wednesday.
The inquiry was shown a photograph of a wedding where PC Gibson and Mr Bayoh's face could be seen. Faces of other people at the wedding were blurred out.
The bride was said to be a friend of Mr Bayoh's partner at the time, Colette Bell.
PC Gibson said: "I don't think I had any contact with him.
"I think my partner recalls that we were sat at the same table though, but I wasn't sure about that."
After taking the stand to give evidence, PC Gibson described the scene he saw when he arrived on Hayfield Road, Kirkcaldy, on May 3 2015.
He said he saw two other officers struggling with Mr Bayoh on the ground.
The constable said he helped the other officers by restraining the 31-year-old's legs. Straps were then applied to Mr Bayoh's legs.
PC Gibson said he saw that another officer had handcuffed Mr Bayoh with his hands in front of him.
Another officer said "get off him" and they then realised Mr Bayoh was unconscious, he said.
His statement to the inquiry said things were "frantic" as the police officers then tried to perform CPR on Mr Bayoh.
Ms Grahame asked PC Gibson how he was feeling at that point, he replied: "Horrific."
He continued: "Shocked.
