KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) found there were several issues of negligence relating to the death of Nigerian student Thomas Orhions Ewansiha, who died in custody after being nabbed by the Immigration Department.

Suhakam commissioner Jerald Joseph, in a press conference on Friday , said that while the commission agrees that the cause of death was due to a heart attack, there were preventable issues.

One of the issues found during their investigations was that medical officers at the depot did not have the appropriate blood pressure cuff for Thomas due to his size. “We understand that they would want to maintain the element of surprise, but if you and I see someone with no uniform walking like that, you’ll run, too. So there should be some improvements so they don’t scare off people, ” he said.He was initially detained for 14 days for further investigations.
