Autopsy Rules Refugee Death a Homicide

Homicide means another person caused the death. It does not mean anyone meant to harm him.
His death led to calls for an investigation in Buffalo, United States. People are asking for a probe into how he died.
Klear Note — A homicide ruling means another person caused the death, not necessarily intentionally. Refugee deaths in custody often spark investigations into police or detention practices.
