The death of a Cuban immigrant held at an immigration detention facility in El Paso, Texas, has been ruled a homicide, multiple outlets reported on Wednesday night, citing an autopsy report released by the county medical examiner’s office.
According to the Washington Post, the report released by the El Paso County Office of the Medical Examiner said that the cause of the man’s death was “asphyxia due to neck and torso compression” and the “manner of death is homicide.”
The autopsy report, however, is only a classification of how the person died and does in itself not imply that the death was intentional or determine any criminal culpability.
