Guantanamo Bay, May 20: An Afghan inmate at the Guantanamo Bay prison has died in an apparent suicide case, US army officials said.
The prisoner – identified as Inayatullah – had been detained in the prison since 2007.
The US military said in a statement the prisoner was found “unresponsive and not breathing”.
“After extensive life-saving measures had been exhausted, the detainee was pronounced dead by a physician,” the statement said.
This was reportedly the sixth prisoner suicide case since the detention centre opened in January 2002.
