The death of a 55-year-old Cuban detainee who died on Jan. 3 at a federal immigration detention camp in El Paso was ruled a homicide Wednesday by the El Paso Medical Examiner’s office.
Geraldo Lunas Campos, who had been detained at Camp East Montana, died from “asphyxia due to neck and torso compression,” according to the autopsy report, meaning that he couldn’t breathe because of pressure on his neck and chest.
