An Afghan national who fought alongside U.S. Special Forces died from an allergic reaction while in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, just one day after being detained for deportation proceedings, according to his death certificate.
Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal, 41, suffered "an adverse drug reaction" to an unidentified substance that triggered anaphylaxis and worsened his asthma, the certificate says. His March 14 death at a Dallas hospital was ruled accidental.
