Nebane Abienwi, 37, had been taken to a hospital from the Otay Mesa Detention Center, where he had been in custody.
A 37-year-old man from Cameroon died Tuesday in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, after undergoing treatment for a brain hemorrhage since Sept. 26 at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center.
Physicians at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center provided treatment to Abienwi, who was nonresponsive to questions. He appeared paralyzed on his left side and remained in the hospital until he passed away Tuesday, according to ICE. Physicians identified the cause of Abienwi’s death as brain death secondary to basal ganglia hemorrhage, ICE said.“ICE is firmly committed to the health and welfare of all those in its custody and is undertaking a comprehensive agency-wide review of this incident, as it does in all such cases,” a statement from ICE said. “Fatalities in ICE custody, statistically, are exceedingly rare and occur at a small fraction of the rate of the U.S. detained population as a whole.
