From Fox News: An ICE detainee was pronounced dead in Pennsylvania after being discovered “hanging by the neck” inside a detention center, immigration officials said.
Chaofeng Ge, 32, of China, was found unresponsive at the Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Philipsburg the morning of Aug. 5, according to U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement. An investigation into his death is underway.
“He had been in ICE custody for five days and was awaiting a hearing before the Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review. MVPC staff discovered Ge hanging by the neck and unresponsive in the shower room of his detention pod at 5:21 a.m.,” ICE said in a statement.
“They immediately lowered him to the ground, began CPR and contacted Phillipsburg Emergency Medical Services, the Pennsylvania State Police and the coroner’s office.”
The report explains that Ge had been arrested on January 23 when officers responded to a call from a CVS store in Harrisburg “for a report of a male using fraudulent credit cards in an attempt to purchase gift cards.”
“Ge was found to be in possession of numerous stolen credit card numbers located within his cell phone,” police had revealed.
