An autopsy is being conducted to determine the cause of death, according to reports.
A French national being held by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency reportedly passed away on Sunday, marking the agency's ninth death in custody in 2019.
According to ICE records on deaths in custody, the French national would have been the last person to die in the agency's custody in 2019. They also would have been the ninth person to die while under the agency's care that year. The preliminary cause of death appeared to be"self-inflicted," according to an ICE statement published online. However, the agency said the case was still under investigation.
The agency had previously lodged an immigration detainer against Akinyemi in July"pursuant to his arrest for sexual abuse of a minor," ICE said. At the time of his death, he had been facing removal proceedings in immigration court.
